Wierd! Adware detected... by Chugboat on 09-01-2005 at 10:07 PM

I chse to install Plus without the sponsor, or so i thought - but MS antispyware came up with 5 traces of "Messenger Plus." Does this mean the adware was installed, or does this just mean it has just detected it and presumed i might have the version with the adware?

No, it is not about removing the detection!! It is about fixing the detection so it detects only the installer as an adware bundler and to fix the uninstall routine...

Yeah, which is what this thread is about. He didn't install the adware package, yet msas is detecting the program.
