O.P. Shocked  Suggestion for Auto-Accept
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 :D.


[edit]
I mean what booghost posted :p..

RE: Suggestion for Auto-Accept
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)

:P

You sleep in the same bed, whisper it in his ear when he is sleeping. Honestly I dont see the point of this. If its a virus its not going to do anything unless you execute the file. Its a waste of time i hate to say it.

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 :p..

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...
