Indeed, and from what I've heared this feature is one of the least welcomed features since a very very very long time... It is very good that MS tries to do something about the virusses . But it isn't good if this "feature" would be build in and no way to turn it off. MSN will loose a lot of 'above-average' MSN users... Only time will tell...
On a very personal note: if this feature would be build in without the ability to turn off, I'm strongly wondering who the *beeeep* n00b was that suggested this to MSN... And who was the n00b then to forget to include all the other extensions which can be run automatically (eg: screensavers). Luckely this is still in private beta hands only, so we have to wait until this "feature" matures to see what's up with this...
Don't worry
