Hmm, yes I do, do that...But I still would like a "file filter" thing...

I still don't see the point... Messenger doesn't execute anything automatically, there's really no reason to be concerned... if you're afraid, you can just filter the contacts for whom you enable auto-accept and if it's not enough, maybe you should think aboutremovingsome of the people you got on your list

Hmm, I know it dont auto execute them, but what if they put a name of lets say it was this new JPEG worm sending in a file, and they named it, MessengerPlus!3.2 , and I didnt know that it was a worm in it? I mean would it be hard for you to make a file filter?,,

Seeing that I my list is full, and I've talked to everyone in the past week on my list, I dont think i'll remove any

*sigh* If you think someone will send you a virus then you should delete them straight away! So please get ova this auto accept thing!!!! Anywaz you SHOULD have anti-virus software so set it to check every file you recieve!!!

Sorry if i went ova da top

I notice the "chrono

I agree with Patchou though its not auto executed if you dont want to open it once you have recived it dont do it
I would like to however be able to filter abit further what is an isnt allowed to be accepted e.g. No Audio Convo's but Cam is fine etc etc

Yes thats what the most thing I want is what Reisyboy just said..Come on patchou!

but sean, listen to what people are saying...he wont add a feature when its already some what assosiated with msn messenger...just get a bettervirus scan and hook it up with your msn so it scans well...

It's not just for virus's...Read my posts ..It could be for multiple things....Like for picture type...ect

That's why there is an option in Messenger to scan files for virusses... You should scan anything that you got from the net before you attemp to execute it...
