    British Standard Time. It's the offset for daylight savings in the UK (and Portugal, iirc?). During the winter months, the UK operates on GMT, and during the summer (or daylight savings) months, they operate under BST.

    There are a number of things out there that somehow infect MSN, I've had to block like four friends from my list because they did something that now basically just trolls me with spams to go to this link or that link - not necessarily game related at all.

    Whether or not it affects other areas of your computer, I honestly don't know.
