The error surely looks to be a problem from the McAfee Site Advisor:

Have you done the following:

First, try to update the McAfee Site Advisor. If it does not work, then follow the steps.

Locate the following folder:
C: \ Program Files \ McAfee \ SiteAdvisor
Right-click on the sasets.ini file and choose Open With, then Notepad.
Find the [msnmsgr.exe] line.
Change the Enabled = from 1 to enable = 0.
Click on the File menu, point to Save.
Close the sasets.ini file, then restart the computer.

If the problem still persist then try to reinstall drivers for your webcam or else try to degrade the version of the Windows live messenger.

It seems that it is bug with Windows live messenger 2009 itself, even if you do a installation for the downgraded version it will force you to install the latest and for this there hasnt been a fix or a patch released from microsoft, I think we will have to wait for sometime till it gets fixed. In the meanwhile use Skype, it is better than the Windows live messenger and I can easily use video options and photo options on it.
