O.P. RE: An idea to prevent MSN-spread viruses
umm, okey, that sounds really great. But what if the users can control a little bit more. Would that heart Microsoft/MSN as a company? Or will it help the more advanced users to prevent the window that is left open 24/7 in the computer, aka MSN, to spread viruses? Well, there are many questions, but i know one thing for sure, advanced users, as myself likes to have control of every single application on the computer, even MSN, and MSN is one of the most limited applications. So just give me control of what my MSN client is trying to send to other people, cause having a virus that spreads through msn is like having aids, you need to take your own responsibility in stopping the virus. I cant just sit here with that virus hoping everyone has a good antivirus software... Well, my point is that it feels really unsafe, knowing that all programs running on my computer, wheater its a virus or anything else, just can make my msn client send files to my contacts. And i cant prevent it. Well i could download amsn, which lacks in functionality, or i could stop using msn, which is not an option. I got the virus because i was tired and didnt look at the filesize, and the message the virus left on msn before spreading was written in well-written swedish, which is really rare. So, i mean it can trick everyone, even the most experienced users..
