Shoutbox

reading though an old thread i discivered this:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=30638
although it is clearly stated in this thread, which is very old, that the olugin will not be made avialable any more it still is and i have become a victim to it! i was wounering if any1 knew wat exactly this thing can do and also why it can still be downloaded!!

blasphemy.killercarrot.co.uk opens if you've tried, but unsucessfully installed the Handwriting plugin for Messenger.

On the page it has removal instructions which guide you through fixing the problem.

well according to many other sites i have visited this is not just a faulty  file but something more serious (a hijacker) so i dont know that the hell it is!! can anyone help???

well i know it isn't a hijacker, as that is my website and I know who created the Handwriting plugin.

As i said before, goto blasphemy.killercarrot.co.uk and follow the instructions there...

well i didnt do the things on the website - i removed all traces of the tool! does this mean its completely gone???

do you still get the website open when you open MSN?

All you need to do is to disable the plugin in the Plus! Plugin preferences and then with MSN closed, delete MSNHandWriting.dll from the Plus! plugins folder, probally

code:

---

c:\program files\messenger plus! 3\plugins

---

well i dont get the site trying to load up anymore!! and the file is deleted! does this mean its gone???

yea, you already removed it.

so why did it try to connect to the site? - im sorry but to me this did seem aful supicious. and a quote 'the f***er' cannot be detected by adware and virus removers, and that doesnt often happen by accident!'

Below is from blasphemy.killercarrot.co.uk

If your PC did not match this profile, you where redirected to this page. this is not malware/spyware/adware or whatever you call that crap, I did not use a MessageBox for a very simple reason: it would lock up your MSN Messenger login process, and you would no longer be able to log into msn!

Thats why it opened that site, rather than just show a message box or something as usual errors do.

who said that?  they proablly meant it isn't detected by adware and virus removers, because there's nothing to detect, it isn't a virus, spyware, adware or anything like that
