Sucks..this totally sucks..my MSN Messenger sucks..I have faced this problem earlier too and now again today….My friend transferred mp3 file on the messenger and when I clicked on it…bomb..messenger deleted it…says it has potentially harmful content…what the hell!! How can a virus be in mp3 file…it’s a bloody song…
Too bad…and I couldn’t find option to disable that stupid alert / check also….
So the best way would be…don’t click on the MP3 file after the transfer…go to the folder where it has been downloaded and play it from there…

After the recent file transfer services like yousendit, rapidshare I rarely use msn for file transfers.

I for one never used IM softwares for file transfers, it was risky earlier but even now with AV programs scanning the IMs, I don’t bother with it. If any of my friends want to send me anything, they email it, its simple & easy, & uploading takes same time as transfering the file takes!!

Gupta, what are you basing that on, upload will not go as fast as download if you have an assymetric line (ADSL)…
