The only way I could see you catching a virus is through one being hidden in a file, as you can send and recive files optionally, but if the people you add are trustworthy you have nothing to worry about.

Life was fantastic lately when the thing was duff, downhill immediately when it came back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 543 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 You can set msn so your virus checker automatically starts up and checks any files that are sent over from other users. You download it from the MSN website. It's one of these things that most kids with pc's have. It's a programme that allows you to chat instantly to someone who's on your contact list. As mentioned the chats can be one on one or they can start a mini chat room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone can respond instantly to something on MSN they can answer the phone or reply to an email. Sounds like an excuse for a bit of browsing during the employers time if you ask me, like.

If someone at work gets my by MSN I see it straight away and deal with it there and then if required. The amount of downtime following server failures has dramitically reduced since we had MSN installed. The person who needs to know finds out almost instantaneously.... Frightened of change tbh!

As long as the work gets done I don't think it matters how you do it. I tend to avoid working from home because the temptation to doss is too much and I end up having to make up for it by working all night. I'll only do it now if i'm waiting for a delivery/work man etc. I do feel MSN is a pain in the arse as it's so distracting though, but it has its uses.

The Fish 11128 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 MSN is only annoying if you let idiots have your address, I find that a decent away message usually sorts the wheat from the chaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
