The 1.0 ßeta of Microsoft's new Antispyware tool claims that Messenger Plus installs other adware.  It states:

Messenger Plus!
Type: Adware Bundler
Threat Level: High
Author: Patchou

Description: Messenger Plus! is an add-on for MSN Messenger. Messenger Plus! installs an optional adware called C2Media which is also known as LOP.com.

Advice: This software is not necessarily adware. However, it does install other adware programs as well as perform potential hazardous actions on your computer. In either case this software is not to be trusted.
Since this application gives you the option to not install the adware that comes bundled, we recommend ignoring it.

About Adware Bundler: A Bundler is a software program that installs adware on your computer either with your permission or without. Most of the software classified as a bundler requires that the adware program(s) be installed in order for the actual software to complete installation or run. In addition in most cases if the adware is removed the software will seize to function as well.

I have found this to be TOTAL BS and MS should not be allowed to shutdown products they may not like (becuase perhaps it removes Microsoft's own ads) just becuase they don't like it.  NO other adware/spyware removal tool I've used complains about Msg+ and we should NOT tolerate this.

I guess it's ok for MS to install adware (in the form of MSN Messenger) but it's not ok for legitimate products like Msg+ to remove them!

this is old news we already know about this ill find the thread that metions this after i finish eating

Terabyte: thank you for the support. If you're not happy about this, I suggest you contact Microsoft about it (emailing them about it is probably the only thing you can do to help Messenger Plus! against this problem).
