O.P. Very Dangerous Bug
This ia a very dangerous bug & id like you to find out how to prevent such things, i lost several email addresses cause of it. In this url is a zip file i uploaded it to my yahoo, this is how it works. Someone ads a file to their pc, it is a script that runs off of messenger plus, The second file if what someone uses to send commands to get passwords saved in messenger, hide clock & taskbar along with other commands can you please find a way to stop such things please, me & several friends lost our emails over this program.
Who do i send the url to so someone can look at it i didnt want to post url here publicly cause it is so dangerous.

I don't see how this is a bug, you are responsible for any scripts you import and Plus! has no real power over what scrips you do import.

When importing a script, you are asked permission if the script is allowed to install on your computer, and it is specified in Plus! that "Scripts have the same power as executable programs, import at own risk"
You have the intellect comparable to that of a rock. Be proud.

No, any program with local access to your PC can display (or send) your stored passwords, this is the risk of saving your passwords.

Messenger Plus! scripts are just as powerful as normal programs, they could be used for nasty things and viruses too, which means you should treat them the same as normal programs. Only install scripts you got from a trusted source, for example from the official site only. All scripts there are tested before they're added to the site.
Finish the problem

I've got a feeling the contact either doesn't like you very much, or doesn't know they sent the file? If it's the latter, it's the same as most other WLM virii

RE: Very Dangerous Bug
this is about trust

its not a bug

there is a remote assistiance in the plus

you can give it to the one you trust if you give it for the wrong guy i will lose many data and e-mail

another e.g

maybe a hacker send you a file  if you open it you will be hacked
and this hacker is your friend  and you accept the file that contains a hige lvl threat

you will blame Microsoft becouse there is such bug is caled virus !

why did you accept the file " because you trust him "

dont accept anything from anyone only from the one you trust :)
