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?,,

I notice the "chrono:P

I agree with Patchou though its not auto executed if you dont want to open it once you have recived it dont do it:)
I would like to however be able to filter abit further what is an isnt allowed to be accepted e.g. No Audio Convo's but Cam is fine etc etc
