Help me! (MS Anti-Spyware) by Bionic on 09-27-2005 at 05:44 AM

Hey, I'm using Messenger Plus! 3.60.144 so When I refuse to install the sponsor and I scan MS Anti-Spyware then it says Messenger Plus! is a spyware... :S Why? Help me! Thanks!

There should not be any warning by now.

Have you updated the MSAS definition file?

Microsoft AntiSpyware steps back!

Hi Bionic, this is a problem with MS Anti-Spyware - if you update your definition files it should fix the problem :)

Microsoft AntiSpyware steps back!

Edit: LOL - great minds think alike..

Yes, I have an updated the MSAS definitions (5761 version)... so can I install or refused Messenger Plus? tell me!

Thanks!

Install it without the Sponsor. To be honest, this MS Antispyware Tool is in my opinion lousy. Not only Msgplus is affected, there are also several other programs who are recognized as Spy-/Adware.
I trust the following programs:
Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D and Pest Patrol.
Combined I am sure, that they find 99.9% of this on my PC.

Greetings
Tom

When you scan with MS AntiSpyware it detects Messenger Plus! as "software bundler", not as spyware. You can ignore it, this detection doesn't mean anything.

Yeah, You're right Patchou! Thanks for your help and would highly be appreciated! (Y)
