I changed the topic into "MSN Protect", it covers it's contents better then PifBlock

that's a crap idea tbh. it's like basing on filesize
you can't judge on a file without actually opening it. and, ffs, get a virus scanner

The user can setup what kind of links he wants to block/filter..

Pif's are 99,9% bad and evil....

and 0.1% good

*sighs*

why do you think the msn team allowed exe's to be transferred? right.

As i said before, this whole idea is in the stage of ideas..

You can put up every file or ext. in this list, and maybe even people who you trust you can add to the whitelist, so their files are "safe" and you will receive it just as you do normal...

It doesn't really check the contents, you must use a virusscanner for that..

Maybe it can check known filenames & filesizes or contents of pif, bat, com etc...

I don't know yet

Why is it so hard simply not accepting files you havnt asked for, from people you dont know, files you dont know what is, and getting an antivirus program.

Common sense

Not everyone has common sense..

I have received a LOT of those pif files, and the most people in my list aren't noobs..

And the file, well... Bropia sends it self to all MSN Contact persons, mostly trusted persons...

And pif just looks like gif

I think people should be responsible for their PCs and don't allow viruses to enter in it.

Well I want a brand new, top of the line PC, but that just isn't gonna happen.

I have decided that in my Plugin for Organizing Recieved files that there will be an option to auto delete specific extensions and organize on load. Also the entire plugin is being recoded at the moment so don't expect it any time soon.
