1) The script is indeed not compatible with Plus! 5.
That is, it would have been compatible if there weren't some bugs in it in regards to the version number....
And I suppose more scripts might suffer from the same kind bug/assumption.
It has to do with assuming that the Plus! version number always has a number after the decimal point. Of course, since this is verion 5.0, the numeric value is just "5" and no decimal point is present.
var plsver=MsgPlus.Version.toString()
.split(".");
plsver=plsver[0]+"."+
plsver[1].substr(0,2);
=>
plsver[1] is empty since there is no number after the decimal point
As a result it fails to even install properly.
2) It uses deprecated online services
3) It has other bugs too, which makes it that many functions wont work properly, even if it did install*.
* note that nothing needs to be installed. It simply needs to set some options. As such, the whole behaviour of its windows and when they are shown and a forced close of Messenger etc, is all seriously not needed imho, and could be seen as bad practice.
4) The numbers of virusses, threats and spam shown on its hompage is unbelievably extremely exaggerated!! It only detects a handfull of possible malware messages.
5) Other than that, the idea of it is nice and it might serve some purpose, but the whole exaggerated stuff (both in how it is presented, what it can detect, and in its behaviour) leads to a serious false feeling of protection imho.
PS: The fact that it wont install properly is a good thing imho, because of the reason below.

But more importantly:
That script might be an invasion of privacy for the user and even for contacts
When you install or uninstall the script, your email address will be send to WLMSafe's database. There is no need at all for this script or service to send your email address to them!
And, emails of contacts might be send when the user reports those contacts, although I have not checked/traced this properly yet so I can be wrong with this. But if it was, it is not needed to explicitly send the email, instead the Windows Live ID hash can be send. This is a bit less accurate, but it preserves the privacy of the contact (in case the report was not legit).

Menthix, I realy think for scripts and stuff like this a very clear visible privacy warning should be placed on the script's download pages (in case you can still do something about that). Stuff like this has happened in the past too and it will happen for future scripts. People should at least _know_ that the script will upload private data like your email address (or your contact's email addresses in case it happens).
Personally I wouldn't even have allowed that script in the database until such issues were fixed (especially since it can be fixed by the author very easily anyways). Of course, I understand you can't check every script in detail, but you know what I'm getting at I hope

His alias is 'Webbolo!' ('wincy' on forums) and his email address can be found in the script's source file "wlmsafe.js"
