O.P. Grin  Virus Outbreak Alerts on your Desktop!
Messenger Plus! Zone Outbreak (OAT) Alert Tool
By Dane Smith

I dont think this is spam since it has relevant information related to the recent virus epidemic via Messenger -- If it is, Mods please delete

Messenger Plus! Zone is proud to present a tool that will help users effectively stay informed about the latest Category 3 or higher threats.  Messenger Plus! Zone Outbreak Alert Service (OATS) is a small program (112KB) that loads on startup and sits in your systemtray...it checks every hour for the latest outbreaks, and, if any exist, you will receive the alert via your System Tray.  The program will not spam you with alerts!.  This version will only alert you to category 3 threats, and usually less than 4 per week come out.  So why not give it a spin, theres nothing to lose, and its free.

Download: Click Here to Download version 1.0.16 - Final - Spyware and Adware Free!

lol, I made it and only the Messenger Plus! Zone admins have access to it.  Very trustworthy.  Im already working on the next version, which will remove the viruses by downloading "Removal Definitions".  You can get it off the nightly builds whenever they become online.

Just wondering, is this using a virus database you made or is it using a virus database that a famous anti-virus company made it? (example: symantec)
YouTube closed-captions ripper (also allows you to download videos!)

Hey,

It doesnt detect viruses, it simply notifies you of them (a future version will download "Removal Definitions" to detect and remove them).  I get information either from my own viral analysis or High Risk Alerts at various websites.  All are confirmed though.
