O.P. Winks: Are they safe?!
the msn 7.0.0425 have winks enabled back again....
and now this version is a public beta...
and microsoft thinks this version is safe for release...
but sure, as always: on ur own risk ...
my question is if the winks are easily exploitable as they used to be ??
or am i better blocking them ?!?! maybe with a patch from mess.be ...

No exploits, unless someone hacks msn and adds them as defaults, but I don't think you'd be able to view them without them hacking yours aswell :). You'll be alright don't worry ;)

as far as we know msn messenger 7 current bulid is safe, however as its a beta still that means that the current version does not represent the quality and features of the completed version! :)

MSN Messenger 7.0 Build 0425 is safe with the winks. I don't think the winks would work if someone replaced them with Reshacker or another application...

Not really sure. I know this build is safe :).

If they replaced them with a program, the wink would only appear different on the machine it was replaced on (their own), if it worked at all, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about atm...
