It is not allowed to modify any file from Messenger Plus!.
And certainly not when other people than you have access to it!!
I didn't knew that, I don't usually read EULA, is there some problem to do that? Can I have your agreement? if you want I can send you modified files.
Modifying, reverse engeneering, resource hacking, etc of almost any program is forbidden; you don't even have to read the EULA's for that.
As such you will never get the agreement of the creator to do this.

true... but even /dropfile is rather safe. It does nothing more than what the sendfile feature in MSN Messenger itself already can do.
And /exec is as dangereous as the Start > Run command in Windows itself or as any other way there is in Windows to execute a file (which are a
lot of ways)
All in all, I think the insecurity is not caused by the use of Messenger Plus!, but caused by not securing/restricting Windows in general. Aka: to protect the PC/Windows from unwanted risks you need to secure/restrict Windows, not restricting 1 out of the many programs which the user can use as that would be actually useless.
