O.P. plus! auto accept feature
i have auto accept feature on for a couple users. but i have a question
yesterday someone i knew just got one of those msn viruses, where you download the file, run it, and then the file messages everyone on your msn list that file, etc.. you know the deal.

now since i have auto accept feature enabled for a couple users.. if they happen, for whatever reason get this virus.. i will auto accept it.

is there a way to block certain files on the auto request thing when im not around.. like deny .exe , from being sent?

and this feature would only be enabled for example if i hvaen't actually spoken to the person.

The allow-list is there for that purpose, your friends are not supposed to send you viruses. And even if they do, nothing they send you can affect your computer if you don't open it so there's no risk involved in downloading anything.
