messenger plus virusscan by spastje on 02-08-2005 at 11:35 PM

an idea
what do you think about a virusscanner integrated in messenger plus. it scans for viruses like bropia.

it's just an idea

Don't think that's an good idea. Patchou doesn't have the knowledge and time to keep an antivirus database up to date. Only way he could do this is by intergrating an existing virusscanner into Plus!.

But any exsisting quality virusscanner will detect virusses like Bropia and other MSN variants. It doesn't add any value to it to bundle. Just get a seperate virusscanner.

But the idea is original (y).

just use a normal vrius's checker, e.g. norton

u can also tell msn to scan files received

tools > options > messages

then tick scan files for virus's using ......... and selct your virus scanner
