What about it to see what file type it is, like a .exe and when someone sends a .exe it not to accept it untill you accept it...Example:


Blah sends me a .jpg, it auto-accepts it, but then he sends a  .exe it dont auto-accept it...It just promts like a regular file..

I hope yall get what I mean .


[edit]
I mean what booghost posted ..

maybe this suggestion could be expanded a bit, like making filter for auto accept.... like don't auto accept files with some word in it like "pr0n", or "chrono", or "*.exe" (*.exe would be files having exe as extention)

Yes thats what I mean ..

Well whatif someone names the file like MsgPlus3.exe and someone didnt know it was a virus ect, then you open it? and I have to agree with BooGhost ..

Hmm, yes I do, do that...But I still would like a "file filter" thing...

I still don't see the point... Messenger doesn't execute anything automatically, there's really no reason to be concerned... if you're afraid, you can just filter the contacts for whom you enable auto-accept and if it's not enough, maybe you should think aboutremovingsome of the people you got on your list

Hmm, I know it dont auto execute them, but what if they put a name of lets say it was this new JPEG worm sending in a file, and they named it, MessengerPlus!3.2 , and I didnt know that it was a worm in it? I mean would it be hard for you to make a file filter?,,

Yes thats what the most thing I want is what Reisyboy just said..Come on patchou!

but sean, listen to what people are saying...he wont add a feature when its already some what assosiated with msn messenger...just get a bettervirus scan and hook it up with your msn so it scans well...

It's not just for virus's...Read my posts ..It could be for multiple things....Like for picture type...ect

That's why there is an option in Messenger to scan files for virusses... You should scan anything that you got from the net before you attemp to execute it...
