Have an early look at MSN8 and see the buddy surfing feature in action (looks pretty annoying if you ask me), in this preview reported to me by Zero1 and Timothy.

The new Win32.BugBear.A virus made it to the television news in Belgium tonight. Once it's settled on your PC it's to be considered a huge security threat as hackers can gather information from your hard disk. Our friends from BitDefender have already knocked together a free removal tool, so what are you waiting for? Ready... Set... SCAN!



 Easy Message Express 2.2
Easy Message Express 2.2

dwergs says ( 04 Oct 2002 ):

 

There's quite some MSN Messenger clones out there and as a full-time MSN Messenger abuser, I don't like or need them that much. But there's one that deserves all the attention it can get: Easy Message Express 2.2 (indeed, a new version). Not only is it the smallest client around (only 200kb), it offers interoperability (AIM, Yahoo, ICQ -and- MSN) and polygamy (multiple MSN log-ins at once) on top of all standard instant messaging functions. Keep it up Ryan!

Another official msn messenger release has been made, this time msn messenger 4.6.0083. This will probably be the last of the 4.x versions before the release of version 5.0 later this month. Download it here. Please note that this is not an update for XP since the latest XP version is 4.7.0104.



 Re-design
Re-design

dwergs says ( 04 Oct 2002 ):

 

I DID IT! After ONE year of existence, the look of Mess.be is finally restyled and remixed (if you still see the old site, hold CTRL and press F5 now!). I even created a logo that from now on represents this community portal and knowledge site.

Thanks to Timothy for the flash, favicon and comments while I was in the progress of making this layout the past two days. Thanks to Stieno, Filip, Stijn The Man and Nicholas for instant feedback.

Please leave your remarks on the new design and bug reports in the exit blog comments.



 Cypherguard
Cypherguard

dwergs says ( 03 Oct 2002 ):

 

CypherGuard 1.0 is a commercial add-on for MSN Messenger with the following features:
- Protect privacy and data integrity with strong asynchronous encryption;
- Manage multiple conferences simultaneously through a single interface;
- Encrypted transfer of files between CypherGuard for MSN Messenger users;
- Save Instant Messaging session logs as encrypted files

I didn't add this to our download section, because it's payware. You can order it for about 15 Euros or US Dollars. You can reach Cypherguard here.

Bill Gates will launch MSN 8 on October 24th at a New York City event. Any NY people interested in attending this meeting for a mess.be exclusive report? ;) Like Microsoft told us before, together with this introduction of MSN 8 to the U.S. market, the new MSN Messenger 5.0 will see the light. The countdown has begun! (21 days left till the release of MSN 8)

 openlogin
openlogin

kutforum says ( 01 Oct 2002 ):

 

On msnfanatic.com they have a little new toy. Its OpenLogin.

As written on the site:
OpenLogin is a PHP script that will log you into MSN Messenger for just a second. After it has logged in, it will show you the communication it had with the MSN Messenger servers.

What is the big use of this cool toy?
1. To test if the MSN Messenger servers are still online.
2. To start programming on your own MSN Messenger client.
3. To learn about the MSN Messenger protocol.


Give Openlogin a try, if you know what to do with it ;).



 Messenger Plus! 2.00
Messenger Plus! 2.00

dwergs says ( 01 Oct 2002 ):

 

Last week we told you Patchou was back on the job and Messenger Plus! v2.00 is in the making. As Mess.be likes to contribute to the development of this ingenious add-on, we provide you with these links:

- "Curious people" can track the progress right here.
- Helpful people can assist Patchou in translating Plus! into one of 24 languages by filling out this form (by the way, dear Patchou, 'Brazilian' is not a language.. they speak Portugese ;)).
- And I advise everybody to participate in the Plus! poll: select your 3 favorite new features, suggest the most important improvement and leave your comments here.

[Thanks to Johnny_Mac]
