RE: messenger plus virusscan
Don't think that's an good idea. Patchou doesn't have the knowledge and time to keep an antivirus database up to date. Only way he could do this is by intergrating an existing virusscanner into Plus!.

But any exsisting quality virusscanner will detect virusses like Bropia and other MSN variants. It doesn't add any value to it to bundle. Just get a seperate virusscanner.

But the idea is original (y).
Finish the problem

tools > options > messages
