Hi people this is really important. RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by Rolando on 04-04-2007 at 11:37 PM
You can't. Either you turn them all off or nothing. You can't decide what the other person's msn does. quote: Those are the only ways. RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by Plant Eater on 04-05-2007 at 12:46 AM
Thats ridiculous what if someone makes up a script in the form of a virus or something. Do you have any idea what your doing? So there is no way to do this. RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by L. Coyote on 04-05-2007 at 12:56 AM
quote:In order for the script to be harmful to you, it would need to be installed and executed in your computer*. All the scripts can do to you, if you don't have them in your computer, is annoy you, like in this case. Personally, I'm surprised that the script is even allowed in the DB. quote:Again, all you can do in this case is turn off nudges, block them, or better yet, tell them to stop bugging you. There is not much you can do about others' scripts, since they don't affect your WLM. All they can do is send you things. (pft, I repeated myself) * The harmful script could also send you a file, but if you don't use the "auto-accept" feature, you wouldn't need to worry about it. And links can be blocked or ignored.

In the case of people nudging non-stop, see the reply of q25 or another thing you can make, is to use NudgeBack, a script that nudges back a person that nudges you... RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by Patchou on 04-05-2007 at 01:35 AM No script can affect the security of a computer where it's not installed. If somebody annoys you on Messenger, wheter it's with a Messenger Plus! script or some other patch, the only thing I can recommend you is to block this contact, purely and simply. RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by Plant Eater on 04-06-2007 at 11:26 PM I still honestly think there should be some emergency way to block your contacts scripts from working on your account. Like what I said before. I'm surprised that this has not been done. RE: How Can I Block Other Peoples Plus Scripts From Affecting Me? by L. Coyote on 04-06-2007 at 11:45 PM
quote:But there's no way of telling when a contact is using a script, since all the script can do is affect the account where it's installed. Like I said: quote: There is no difference between what a script sends and what a human sends, so Plus! can't really block anything sent by a script. Besides, it wouldn't make sense to have a feature like Scripts and not be able to make it work for other contacts, since it's one of the main points of the feature.

quote: Its not only scripts, patchs also do this. There's no way it can be stopped. As patchou said, there's no way these scripts can affect your computer's security, unless you install them. |
