MsgPlus! has an optional sponsor, which is adware (not spyware). You can read more about it in this thread (click to read).
quote:As far as I know, it doesn't detect MsgPlus! as a virus. It detects and deletes Messenger Plus!, not giving the user the option to uninstall the sponsor or MsgPlus! correctly.

Plus! isn't spyware, it comes with OPTIONAL adware to keep it free. M$ anti-spyware detects it as a virus - IT'S NOT A VIRUS
