Control trojan with msn messenger

I have been working on a Trojan in vb.net for a while. I wonder, is it possible to make the trojan execute commands that are sent trough messenger? For example if I sent "hi" to the person logged on the infected computer the trojan would read the message and turn off the computer or something like that.

You'd have to code it to listen to MSN traffic (and decode it) but I guess in theory it could be done.

I am not very experienced in vb.net…yet. Could you please give me a little starters help?

in VB theres a libary you can stick into your project that will give you msn functions.

google for a bit on vb and msn control and you'll get some good information.

hopefully they'll be something similar in vb.net

I have tried using the messenger api earlier. But I can't seem to find a way to use it to this purpose. Do anyone have some experience with the API?
