Re: Security experts..
AIM is Garbage, AOL is the worst thing you could put on any pc! Now its worse that they actually have Spayware built in!
F*** AOL |

| I'd rather have AIM with so-called "data mining" software installed than MSN/Messenger Service running and being a giant blinking gaping security hole. 
Personally, I dumped them all and started using the Windows port of GAIM. Takes up next to no CPU, sure it's lacking features (On the plus side it's got a nice minimalist interface, take that bloated Buddylist!) but for someone who doesn't use IM much, it's a great and unobtrusive solution |

Fill us in, oh knowledgable security expert. What is this big, blinking, gaping security hole that you are referring to and how does one exploit it?
...
Yeah, that's what I thought. It's easy to make claims but it's not so easy to back them up. |

You also didn't specify which Messenger you meant. You said MSN/Messenger -- so which is it? MSN Messenger or that annoying pop-up app simply known as the Messenger service? |
