Very useful program for those who use MSN Messenger (version 7 and 7.5) and Windows Live Messenger (version 8.0 and 8.1) which allows you to keep everything for later recovery.
As specified on the website of Baisoft from which you can download MSN Backup (page no longer available):
Program for importing and exporting Animoticons, Avatars, Emoticons, Wallpapers and Photos from Microsoft MSN Messenger 7, 7.5 and Live Messenger 8.0 and 8.1. It allows you to preview the images and for the Animoticons the Flash preview.
To install the program, download the exe file and run it. The Nullsoft Setup Wizard will start. At the end the program will be installed on your PC.
This program, unlike others on the net, does not install spyware, trojans or links to other sites.
The only caveat is that if you use the latest version of the software Microsoftprecisely WLM 8.1 you must also get your Passport Unique ID at this page https://account.live.com/SettingsPage.aspx
