But a friend of mine downloaded it for me without my knowledge - the first I knew about it was when a message from him popped up to say hello! I've not looked back since. Very good way to stay in touch - better than ICQ by a long shot. Allows multiple people to join a conversation, and send files quickly and easuly while discussing them. Very useful, and highly recommended - hell it's not often you get something for free from Micro$oft. ------ O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.

I don't use any Microsoft products for serious Internet stuff e.g. web browsing, e-mail, etc, it's just too dangerous. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment

We frequently use each others computers when we are round each others homes to check emails and the like. I know him well enough that he wouldn't download any serious twaddle (dodgy programs, or pornography or anything similar) to my computer. He did it out of kindness (to get me to use it) and to be fair, I do get a lot of use from it. quote:I don't use any Microsoft products for serious Internet stuff e.g. web browsing, e-mail, etc, it's just too dangerous.

I can't see what harm MSM would be though. Somebody finds a security hole in MSM, exploits it and starts uploading viruses through it - or using it to control your computer. Theoretically, I doubt if MSM is less secure than say IRC or AOL or any other instant messaging product, unless it has brain dead "execute everything I see" functionality like Outlook has (or had), but my theory is that hackers go for the most popular products. I haven't had an e-mail virus infection since I stopped using Outlook/Outlook Express because people don't write viruses for other mail clients. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment
