Thanks for this, fortunately I use Yahoo! Messenger and have Norton, but thanks for the heads-up - I've sent the link to friends who have and use MSN messenger.

I think that, if the reviews are well written and are both critical and complimentary, as Helluin said, they have a positive effect on my writing and my feeling towards the reviewer. If I recieve a review and it's just negative, I'll tend to ignore it, but if someone leaves a review something like, 'This, This and This could be improved by trying this, and I really liked how you did blah blah blah', I'll feel priviledged that someone chose to leave such a useful review.
