If you search harder oh honourable tyro J-J
you just might have stumbled upon this page:-
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ition&ct=title
which has this more relevant definition:-
"graphical image of a user, such as used in graphical real-time Chat applications, or, a graphical personification of a computer or a computer process, intended to make the computing or network environment a more friendly place"
Hence the CD you are now using in MSN Messenger chat is your"avatar" as I eruditely said above
Thanks I had meant to find out several times
