Theres where your wrong, TheBlasphemer. Norton AntiVirus 2003 and 2004 give an even falser sense of protection. Read the fine print, "Instant Messenger Protection: Windows and MSN messenger 4.x, AOL Instant Messenger 5.x, Yahoo! 5.x". Users on MSN Messenger 6.x are not protected using the IM Scanner (although its pretty sad that Patchou can make Plus! work with 6.x and Symantec cant
).
As for the "false sense of protection", I'm already working on a DAT file with EVERY KNOWN VIRUS FILENAME in it, where theres a question it'll be users choice, but yeah, the AntiVirus Plugin
doesnt give a false sense of protection because the current viruses for MSN Messenger do not "mutate" or whatever they call it there file names, they remain the same unless a user renames them, but then when it spreads, it'll make it to like, 1 PC and then generate the old filename again because the core of the virus hasnt changed. So yeah
