Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.

Not if the viruses hook into the actual MSN Messenger thing. If there are vulnerabilites in the actual protocol, then possibly.
I'm not convinced that's correct - I think Trillian runs your msn exe through it's own program, because if you delete MSN components, Trillian can't connect...
BEEEEEP! Wrong! i deleted all my msn messanger and windows messanger off my xp and my trillian runs just dandy with msn and all the others. trillian connects probably just the same as any browser based msn client such as msn2go and whatnot
then what about the web based clients like msn2go. does that end up using my windows thingy or not? and if not then why would trillian not connect the same way instead of exposing me to threats
