That's my whole point ffs... Others (read: n00bs) don't know how these things work and THINK they are protected, while in fact they certainly are NOT protected... that's why I WILL NOT let the choice to the others, but will warn others that this plugin is useless... People need to learn to use their common sense and need to learn to use proper programs instead of blindly using some plugin that claims protection for virusses (MSN virusses or not)....
btw, "add advanced detection,"??????? Why are you always using some fancy words to describe things? advanced detection? My *beep*... it will only check for a filename, if you call that advanced, fine, but don't use those words for things like you wanna create when in fact they aren't advanced at all. Again, this has EVERYTHING todo with FALSE FEELING OF PROTECTION!
When a noob sees those words he thinks "wow, I'm going to install this wonderful magic thing, so I don't need anything else. Now I'm safe for virusses."... You can argue all you want about this, but this is how the real world works. And also, we all know that most people don't even read disclaimers, readme's, instructions, etc...
The basic idea was fine, but making this plugin in real is not!
And with all respect to the others, but look who voted on what options in the poll. I think that says something also......
What, just because they havent been here as long as you there votes dont count?
kk, Im not going to flame back & forth at you. If this is your concern, for your happiness, When the plugin is run for the first time ill make it display a screen that they cannot accept unless it is read to the bottom and after a certain amount of time, that way (And make it remain on top), that way, they'll have no choice but to read the statement. Again, its not COMPLETE protection, its SOME, a SLIGHT security blanket that warns you of POSSIBLY infected files, in no way is it meant as "Complete", "Full" or "Advanced" Detection of MSN Messenger borne viruses, despite earlier statements.
The plugin that is being worked on is for minimal protection and warnings only, will contain an updater,
WILL NOT require purchase (like other AV products) and is meant ONLY to inform of POSSIBLE viruses.
