Not sure if you understand English, but I’ll go ahead anyway.
I’ve heard people throw the same skepticism of Escargot and similar projects lying or duping people with viruses, and to be honest that judgement’s half baked. All the patched installers Escargot offers are the original installers for each version of MSN but with the necessary patches needed to connect to Escargot’s servers. All the unpatched installers (this includes MSN 1 - 4) are, well, untouched. No strings attached. Just the original MSN installers as they were built back in the day. For proof, I’ll attach both the hashes of a WLM 8.1 installer from enhanox’s MSN Messenger client archive (Install_Messenger_nous.exe), and one of the same installer from Escargot’s website (wlm-8.1.0178-en.exe):
As you can tell, both installers have the same checksum, and you can at least tell that we don’t joke around with offering the original software.
As for whether the service actually works, here’s a screenshot of one of my accounts logged in with WLM 8.5. On Windows 10. In 2019.
The code for the server and other Escargot-related stuff is available on GitLab at Escargot / Escargot Server · GitLab and Escargot · GitLab, which should give you a good impression of our authenticity. If that won’t convince you then I dunno what will.
