It's as safe as any other internet based application. I've used it for a few years with no problems. If you want to do video conferencing with it, you will need Windows XP.
Another alternative is Trillian which encompasses all the popular chat programs (ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, MSN and IRC).
If, while using Messenger a friend appears to be sending you a file ending ".pif" (or even ".scr") then it may be that they have a virus/worm which is trying to spread to you. Do not accept that transfer.
