Thanks to Inky from the mess.be forums.

Just made a little simple VB app which patches your MSN Messenger to fix the block from Microsoft. It dumps 11 random characters over the MSNMSGRBETA string sent on the Notification Socket, which tricks it into thinking it’s some random other client (I made them random so Microsoft can’t block the patch as well).
You need to close MSN Messenger completely (no taskbar icon anymore either). Download the zip file and store it on your PC. Open the exe file in it and click “Find target” to look up the Messenger executable (usually c:program filesmsn messengermsnmsgr.exe). Click “Patch” to patch it. Making a backup is optional.
Patching it is your own responsibillity. Remember, if you do and keep using Messenger 7 you will still be vunrable to the Winks exploits!
Get the patch!
I have closed completely out of MSN 7.0 and recieve this error message when clicking the patch.
“Component ‘COMDLG32.OCX’ or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid”
I hate to ask for help in using a patch on something we arent supposed to use lol. just seems wrong.

Grab COMDLG32.OCX here.

Try the .NET version.
Worked like a charm. Beautiful.
