Yeh, but to the people accepting the files may not have an anti virus. It should be like how they scan e-mail attachments.
No, that would totaly screw up the already slow file transfer system. And I don't want my file first send to a MSN server to let it check for virusses and then transfer it to my contact. Not only would the online virus check never be that good, if something like this is implemented people are going to trust upon it. Like I said, people should simply learn to use the option already in MSN Messenger to scan their received files for virusses. All these features and ideas do is making people depent and trust on other systems and making people unaware and lazy...
People should learn how to use the net (don't except anything, scan stuff before opening, etc...). And nobody will learn anything with features like that...
