Messenger Discovery V3

After three months of anticipation by many people the final version of MessengerDiscovery 3 has been released!

This version is a major milestone in MessengerDiscovery history; it has the most fun and cool improvements along with technical ones. This new version has four major new updates;

Encrypted Messages
Typically MSN Messenger sends all your instant messages in plain text - that means that hackers or third parties can spy on your conversations! MessengerDiscovery 3 will automatically encrypt all your messages to other people with MessengerDiscovery 3, thus protecting your messages from prying eyes.

Re-designed GUI
MessengerDiscovery has grown huge in features in the last 6 months, thus bloating the GUI and making some features hard to use or find. MessengerDiscovery 3 has a completely re-designed GUI and has a lot more graphical features and organization than earlier versions of the software.

Re-coded Engine
Having over nine month of experience with the MSN Messenger protocol since the first releases of Project Lithium I have gained a lot of knowledge about the way the protocol works and have developed many techniques. So, with MessengerDiscovery 3 I have completely recoded the proxy engine allowing much better stability and much faster performance! Not to mention the 20+ bug fixes!

Other Improvements and Features
MessengerDiscovery is more advanced and more functional than ever before, the most popular feature "imitate" has been improved for advanced users, by using the command "!imitate advanced" you get a dialog box with full control over what you imitate and who you imitate. Another cool and requested feature has also been implemented; Random Nicknames. Why have a static nickname when you can have a different one every time you log in or every minute on the minute? Along with new MSN Messenger 7 only features (that will be unlocked once MSN Messenger 7 is final).

Please note that MessengerDiscovery 3 is not MSN Messenger 7 compatible due to MSN Messenger 7 still being beta, there is however an automatic update scheduled for MSN Messenger 7 compatibility once MSN Messenger 7 is final.

So what are you waiting for?
Download MessengerDiscovery 3 now!

There is no reason for them not to release it now. What are they trying to prove here? :\

I got an email from "theoldcoot" that warned that Messenger Discover contains an adware hijack: Downloader.Istbar.6.BU

Yes, but at least you can decline the sponsor program with Msg Plus.

Spyware Galore

Thank god for Microsoft's new Spyware system. I have it running all the time now, and when I tried to install this new messenger it went crazy stopping all the spyware from being installed. It was able to stop ALL but one, the dreaded 1-800-Search Assistant. At least that one can be easily removed. Be careful if you install this. I'm going back to Trillian.
