There isn't such a thing as MSN Messenger virusses. Almost EVERY virus can be spread by MSN Messenger. And almost EVERY virus can attach itself to whatever (executable) file you send thru MSN... So you need a database of thousands virusses and all their different names, not to mention all the virusses that don't have a specific name....
Why is it so hard to understand that you CAN NOT identify a virus by filename alone?????
Whenever this plugin is going to be released (and I certainly hope NOT) I'll boycot it for sure and will strongly suggest to users NOT to use it, instead they need to learn how to use a proper virusscanner!!! sorry...
