The new msn messenger 7.0.0777 has a new feature of blocking certain files to stop instant messenger viruses from spreading. These include:
ade .adp .app .asp .bas .bat .cer .chm .cmd .com .cpl
.crt .csh .exe .fxp .hlp .hta .inf .ins .isp .its .js .jse .ksh .lnk
.mad .maf .mag .mam .maq .mar .mas .mat .mau .mav
.maw .mda .mdb .mde .mdt .mdw .mdz .msc .msi .msp .mst
.ops .pcd
.pif .prf .prg .pst .reg .scf .scr .sct .shb .shs .tmp
.url .vb .vbe .vbs .vsd .vsmacros .vss .vst .vsw .ws .wsc .wsf .wsh
Patches allow us to send those files once again to anyone
So let’s say someone makes a virus. They tweak their msn so they can send those files and send them to random people. The random person can see the file and they download it. The virus also changes their msn so they can send those files as well automaticly and soon everyone is as infected just as usual.
Therefore, virus makers can find a way past this new feature and still send virus to millions.
What do you think of this?
And because .exe files are blocked, we can't send programmes to people anymore and msgplus can't be downloaded by instant messages anymore.
In conclusion virus makers can still send those files to people and we cant send files normally we have to have patches instead.
Please tell me if i'm wrong
(CookieRevised) because i want to know has msn cracked down on viruses now or havent they
