Lol.. What
are you suggesting?
Well i had the same problem with ZoneAlarm. I managed to overide the IM security and all was normal again without letting down my firewall.
The emoticon method is nice but seems makeshift. I was wondering since plugins can detect opened convos to cetain accuracy i guess like this..
contact's msn: 'iv opened a convo with you'
(spying plugin gets this)
local msn: 'ok, ready to recieve'
contact's msn '#$%#$%MSGDATA%$^$'
and the spying plugin tells you they've opened/closed a convo.
if msn works like this (i have no idea, just a theory):
contact's msn: 'sending data $#%#MSGDATA#$#$%'
local msn: 'got it'
contact's msn knows (message sent)
then u could get something to not reply back. If its all ping-pong, then getting control of the reply where ur msn doesnt reply to the msn contact's 'got the message', then i assume they'd get a genuine "contact could not recieve message" error
.
does anyone know how the code of this or how it actually works?
