Name?

Update:

I started working on it....
I'll try to release it somewhere this weekend

No Guarantees though
Edit:

Some ideas:
- Block the user (optional to configure)
- Close the window (if possible, optional)
- Notify the user of a virus + sending a link to a removal tool (optional)
- Updateable blocklist of "bad" files via an Update Function (optional)
- Manually adding files & warnings (optional)
- Displaying an alert-toast on receiving a "bad" link to make you aware (optional)

Questions or ideas? Let me know

Edit2:
I saw it isn't possible to check for incoming messages in the current Plus! api, i hope there is a workaround for or Patchou has a solution for this...

Hello Sypher,

I am already working on this plugin, it will use Virus Definitions and Outbreak Alert to inform users of new threats.  And it uses 2 sets of Virus Definitions, Web Based (when connected to the net) and offline based (updated every time you log on the net), and provides a System Tray Icon that you can doubleclick for your security status.

And as Dane knows and has been experiencing. My Plugin, although somewhat buggy does an excellent job of this. I have sent the Plugin to a FEW people just to look for bugs before I release it to everyone.

Yes.  Me and Matty's plugin work in generally the same way, the exception is mine uses Virus Definitions and alerts you of new threats and Matty's uses extensions.
