How to Prevent Unwanted MSN Spams and Remove all MSN Virus
Check who has block or deleted you from their MSN Messenger

Due to the popularity of these ‘reveal me the secret’ web application, we’re beginning to see the rise of various numbers of ‘Check who has block or deleted you from their MSN Messenger’ websites.
You’re Blocked, gives you the chance to find out who has blocked or deleted you. You just have to write your MSN account and your password, the system will process the information and within a few seconds you’ll get the list of users who are lying to you.
For those that are not familiar with these sorts of programs, please be cautious when it comes to giving out your password to strangers especially unknown websites. I believe once a person reveals his/her password, the web application would systematically harvest all of the contacts from his/her msn list and start spamming unwanted messages to your friends and family. This can be seen in the form of ‘Find out who deleted you’ message that you received from a friend and a link to the website.

I can’t be sure to what extend these websites uses the information harvested from your msn, but I notice whenever a friend of mine took part in these programs, there is a sudden increase of spams in my inbox, it is likely that these web applications harvested my email from my friends and sold it to spammers. My advice is, do give it a try if you’re really curious about it, once you’re done toying with the web application, do change your email password.
REMOVE MSN VIRUS WITH MSN VIRUS REMOVAL TOOL
Here is a useful tool if you notice one of your friend has been promoting some sort of downloads and he or she is not aware of it, chances are, his.her computer is infected with a virus, trojan or probably a worm, if that is the case, I would suggest that you advice him/her to give MSNVirusRemoval tool a go.

How to Detect and Find Invisible Users on Yahoo! and MSN Messenger
How do detect invisible user in Yahoo Messenger? I find it annoying when a person comes online with the status “Invisible to Everyone” in both Yahoo and MSN Messenger, things are made worst when both parties are invisible.
The invisible feature is great, there are times such as exam weeks when we don’t want to be disturbed because we would like to do some research online or keep in touch with classmates, discussing the exam paper, or we’re coming online for a short period of time just to check our email, that’s the time when we don’t want anyone to bug us or we’re not in the mood to entertain them.

There are various web application that is able to reveal invisible Yahoo Messenger user, XEEBER and Invisible scanner are the better ones in the market, its free!
As for MSN Messenger, there is only one tool available, the Show Invisible MSN Messenger Status detector, it reveals, finds, and detects you and your contact lists MSN information and inform you all you want to know about your contacts. For example which person deleted or blocked you.

For those who are curious about which of his/her friends deleted or blocked them, do give the service a try but be cautious, I believe the tool is meant to be some sort of email harvesting application or another email hijacking tool created by spammers. Give it a try but remember to change your password as soon as you’re done with it.
Rule number one, never reveal your password to other company besides the original service provider.

Here is a cool little MSN Name Trick that allows you to have an invisible MSN Screen Name. This nickname trick should work for most versions of Messenger (ie MSN 6, 7.5, 8.0). Just follow these instructions:
- Open the Options window so you can change your MSN Name
- Hold down ALT on your keyboard and type in 0160 using the Numeric Keypad (usually on the right side of your keyboard)
- Click OK to save your new Invisible MSN Name!

Blockoo Check MSN block / delete lists

Here is a new service called Blockoo, they claimed that they’re able to show you who blocked or deleted you from their MSN list.
I would love to give Blockoo a try but the idea of giving them my password is scary. If msn is your secondary email and chat client then no harm trying.

Microsoft MSN Uses Google Adsense

Look what I’ve found. Seems like the people in Microsoft don’t trust their own advertising system. I’ve tried the new MSN messenger Live and all I can say is that it is better than the previous version. I love the offline message feature. Its about time they include the long awaited PC to PC call feature. Thanks Skype for keeping up the competition and most of all the innovation.

New Yahoo Home Page and the Search Engine War
Today must be Yahoo’s biggest day ever, its a do or die situation where they have to gain some market share from Google. They call it “the most significant redesign of the www.yahoo.com home page ever”, with a totally new layout unlike the pervious Yahoo homepage, the new home page has a different layout than the previous look, Ajax integration and DHTML are some of the key features.
Content is king, that is where Yahoo beats MSN and Google flat. I have to admit that Yahoo is rich with contents, especially online games and information, their Yahoo Finance page speaks for themself. What Google needs are contents and that is what they are doing by buying up smaller companies.
I believe most of the bloggers tweak their blog for Google Spider, but have any of these so called pro-bloggers ever thought of the over crowded market in the internet? If everyone is going after the same piece of pie, what is your chances of getting a small piece of the cake?

As far as I am concern, my GeckoandFly is optimized for MSN, stupid as it may sound but I believe the future is with MSN. Come to think of it, the would be release Windows Vista comes with MSN search as the default search engine portal, which means not so tech savvy people would be using MSN instead of Google or Yahoo, and with no bloggers optimizing their blogs for MSN, chances of gain eyeballs is very high.
Google is a very reliable and accurate search engine, but to get listed at the number one spot require lots of backlinks and other hidden technique. MSN on the other hand require little SEO knowledge, its unreliable, information is always wrong and older folks are the end user. Which means they have the purchasing power, selling goods would be a breeze. Google would always be the number one search engine, but how long would Yahoo hold on to the number two spot?
