MSN 6 Detonation is a nasty tool that bombs all or one contact of your choice with maximum 6 sign-in popup alerts. You can also schedule your bombings to occur every 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, etc. Folks from different antivirus companies, like Norton Antivirus, don't like this stuff and have classified it as a Hacktool. Even before you could launch the program, Norton prompts with the message that it contains a "Hacktool" virus and removes it.

We take those messages very seriously, so we analyzed the program into little bits. And looked up information what Symantec defines under a "Hacktool".

Our results:

- the program only does what it is suppose to do, and does not contain any functions or references that can hurt your system in any way. In other words it does not steal any information from your computer and is just a flooder (as it is supposed to be)

- Definition of hacktool: a program to help you hack a computer, or to discomfort another computer user (we can put this program in the last category).

Don't be supervised if you find more programs on Mess.be that will pop up as a "hacktool" if you are using Norton. Symantec is just very strict with those things.

So if you don't run a virus scanner that hates tools like this, don't be afraid to use it. If you are using a virus scanner that dislikes "hacktools" disable it before you run it.

Note: If you find a new program that triggers your virus scanner, don't hesitate to report it. We will try to find out if its a virus, or just a "hacktool" that people don't like.

Thanks to all the people who reported this.
