I don't see what good that would do...it's a program/script whatever that deletes your contacts by sending a message to MSN/WLM servers as soon as you log in (that's for sure...what else if anything else is yet to be found out). They can't prevent such a thing because afterall you can send that message to the servers yourself aswell. The only thing that helps in these kinda situations is people to distrust/not download software from elsewhere than the official websites (curiosity killed the cat).

Plus we don't want Plus!, Patchou and Cookie to get an even worse name now do we?
