I don't see what the problem with #1 is. He never said anything about using the game itself. It just requires just a simple text file with IGNs...you'd have to go get it yourself from somewhere like here, unless you're keen on updating the blacklist yourself.
It also uses the clipboard. When you right-click someone in MS, you have the option of clicking "save name" which saves it on the clipboard. By hitting a hotkey, then the program running compares the saved IGN on the clipboard to each line of the list. If there's a match, it plays a sound indicating there was a match, otherwise it plays a non-match sound.
It's not "third-party" software, in that it modifies the game, as it doesn't even require MS to function. (You can start the program up, copy anything onto the clipboard, and hit the hotkey without MS running, and it'll probably play the sound indicating no matches.)
