RE: Microsoft requests 'Cloning' Plus! scripts to be removed
Wow, this kinda surprised me.
To be honest I haven't been able to use Messenger Plus since I switched to Mac about a year ago, and I haven't done any scripting for it. I knew my script was doing well but wow, 1,208,167 downloads!! That's really cool .
I think it's a shame Microsoft requested our scripts to be removed.. As said before our scripts really do nothing other than simplifying something that every user can do if he chooses to. I can understand Microsoft wants to 'protect' it's users but I don't believe this is the way to go..

I thought that before, but have to agree with Cookie on this one. A virus can be written quite easily too, but there are tools to automate it... Should they be made easier to download?

It'd be gratefully appreciated

Unless it's on the scripting database you shouldn't trust it.

There's no reason not to trust those scripts (assuming they come from an ok source), they were removed for other reasons. Please read the thread.

I guess he meant the "most OK" source is Plus!'s scripting database

I somewhat understand why Microsoft did it...
I've seen friends clone as other friends and then post screenshots.
Of course, they're just joking, but it can (much too easily) be used inappropriately.
Sad day for these scriptwriters, all the hard work.

I once got a trusted script sent to me through msn from the database, I din't trust the person who sent it me so I opened it with winrar first and if I would have imported the script it would have run an executeable file. So please be aware that scripts can just be as dangerous as any other file you download from the internet.

Scripts may use ddls and other files to achive what they promisse, as long as I know.
