hey guys and gals..this is my first post and i only made the account cuz i had an idea on how to improve the auto accept feature..a few days ago a friend of mine infected with the W32 worm sent me the virus and since she is a trusted source i had my msgplus to auto accept anything from her..what im wondering is, if there is anyway you can make msg plus not accept certain files (for example .pif files) or any other known viruses. and maybe if thats not possible patchu can try and design something like that for the future upgrades.

p.s yes i know having a good antivirus will just get rid of it and i do have a good one, but i just want to prevent ever accepting any types of that without having to turn off completely autoaccepting other files from my contacts
When my plugin is done it will actually have an autoscan (based on file extension) after you recieve a file. In there will be the option to autodelete certain files with certain extensions. Unfortunatly I have no ETA on the plugin since this is the second time V2 is being recoded from the ground up.
