Does MSN Block Checker - works for v7.0 (816) with Plus! and patch?

Anyone using such?

It works. Its a sperate program, and advertises itself to every window you open.

I despise that application. I get those damn IM's all the time. Maybe these people wouldn't be blocked if they didn't use an app that spammed me.

Tis more like a virus if you ask me. Buddy probably steals all your passwords. There are things that can check without your password.

oo lucky i ask :)

I just tried it, it reported my buddy is Offline, while he is online. I do not think it works :wacko:

My MSN messenger is 7.0.0816

This app is crap, it keeps in memory even after I uninstall it, moreover, if I kill it using Task Manager, it reload it self again. Any idea how to remove it??

Also doesn't work 100%. Reported some of my buddies as offline when they were online.

But that is because:

How accurate is Triople?

If the target user has the option "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages" set and are actually online, Triople will not show them as online.

Stop it starting up then you can get rid of it fully by deleting the files. Just go into "msconfig" and untick "block checker" from "startup"

Yes it does, just not against people who have 'Only accept messages from those on my contact list' enabled.

Basically I think it works by the Triople server trying to initiate a chat with the address you put in (target). Unless the target has a packet sniffer running they wont even notice that they've been 'block checked'.

[TimRogers]

The links need to be removed from that post, we don't want people getting the virus..

[BryanChung]

okie i will remove it i guess ...

[xpgeek]

I still have a daily laugh at people over these things. The 'only allow people on my list to see me online' thing is checked by default for a first time messenger user too, so block checkers do not work except on people that specificaly uncheck it, which isn't much.

I always found this one pretty reliable, as far as they can be anyway.
