Frequently Asked Questions

Is OkTips related to MSN Messenger®?

OKTips.com is not related in any way with MSN Messenger®.

 

How does the Online Delete Checker tool work?

This tool logs into MSN Messenger® servers as any regular IM client does.

Following MSN Messenger® communication protocol, it authenticates using the user account and password, retrieves his or her contact list, analyses it and shows which contacts removed the user from the contact list.

 

Does the Online Delete Checker tells if someone has blocked you?

No. We will implement this tool as soon as possible.

 

Does OkTips perform Phising? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phising)

Absolutely not. This would be illegal. OkTips DOES NOT save or log your account or password in any way.

 

Is OkTips a Virus?

No. It does not install anything in your machine, nor harms your IM client.

 

I cannot log into my regular MSN client after using the Online Delete Checker.

There are no technical reasons for this to happen. Using the Online Delete Checker is the same that logging temporarily from another computer into your MSN Account.

 

Does the Online Delete Checker use a Messenger® exploit, bug or back door to accomplish the task?

Absolutely not. It just logs into MSN Messenger® servers as any regular IM client does. Following MSN Messenger® communication protocol, it authenticates using the user account and password, retrieves his or her contact list, analyses it and shows which contacts removed the user from the contact list.

 

Is OkTips a Worm?

Definition : A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computer terminals on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms always harm the network (if only by consuming bandwidth), whereas viruses always infect or corrupt files on a targeted computer.

OkTips does not send copies of itself, it does not work without user intervention and it does not harm the network or any computer. OkTips is not a worm.

 

Why do I need to enter my account and password?

The Online Delete Checker needs to log into MSN Messenger® servers on your behalf in order to retrieve your contact list.

 

Do I have to change my password after using this tool?

There is no need to since OkTips does not stores it in anyway but if it makes you feel more secure, change it temporarily before using the tool.

 

Will OkTips change anything regarding my MSN Messenger® account?

By using the Online Delete Checker you authorize OkTips to temporarily change your nick to "http://www.OKTips.com: Find out who removed you from his/her contact list" only for advertising purposes. You can change the nick again the next time you log into your regular MSN Messenger® client.

 

Will OkTips send IM messages to my online contacts?

By using the Online Delete Checker you authorize OkTips to send Instant Messages on your behalf to your online contacts advertising the site.

 

So, if you do not steal accounts, passwords, or harm IM clients or computers, what is your business?

It is quite simple. We just try to get visits in order to make money publishing ads. There are no dark or mischievous intentions behind.
