expert01 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Alright, I use MSN7 build 813. I go to send my friend a nudge, he doesn't have latest version though. Suddenly I get a "Downloading MSN Messenger Content" notice and my MSN suddenly turns to...Anyone think this is too far, downloading stuff without my permission?
gamehead200 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Maybe its some kind of virus... I doubt Microsoft would do that...
interminded Posted July 15, 2005 Posted July 15, 2005 I guess it's something like this one:MSN Winks"...MSN Winks Plus automatically downloads winks and adds them in your MSN Messenger. The number of winks currently is over 60, but we will add more winks in the future. MSN Winks Plus can check the new version and download the new winks when we add them in the future..."Better uninstall I guess..
prathapml Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 Maybe its some kind of virus... <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey no, its just a downloaded background for the conversation window. The icon for it is located right beside the nudge icon.expert01,Its not come by itself, its come bcoz u clicked & asked for it! Coke background was probably placed by some add-on to MSN, which u installed.MS-bashing is being taken too far...
DKasler Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Thats a good reason to suggest a 3rd party alternative to MSN, like Trillian or something along those lines.Nothing should EVER touch my PC that I didn't explicitly allow.
HybridShadow Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Coke rulz can u send me the background?but yes i agree with prathapml the ms bashing is just annoying now if you dont like it make your own ok
fillalph Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 This can be turned off if you like.Options --> File Transfers -- > Automatic Background checking]Bonkers[
big poppa pump Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 1) This has nothing to do with MSN Messenger installing anything on your computer.2) Since when did Coke start having backgrounds in GREEN??? COKE = RED!! SPRITE = GREEN!!
HybridShadow Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 Sprite is owned by the Coca Cola CompanyBut you are right you need user intereaction to get anything like that.
HybridShadow Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Im sure it hates you toAlso i thought msn was supported by evil pepsi? not coke
Blam-O! Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Im sure it hates you toAlso i thought msn was supported by evil pepsi? not coke<{POST_SNAPBACK}>how does software hate? (hehe )
expert01 Posted August 27, 2006 Author Posted August 27, 2006 To the people that say I accepted it, or that it's just my contact's background - I did not accept ANY part of it, it did it by itself. It also changed my display picture and added a wink, so it's not because of the background sharing (which was turned off). Old topic, but I have to defend myself.
