i have done a lot of scan using avg, spybot search and destroy, microsoft safety care and trendmicro and it picks messenger plus for windows live messenger Version 2009 Build 14.0.5027.908 on windows XP service pack 3 as a virus and adware this is what it says for description of problem:
MessengerPlus is an add-on for MSN Messenger that adds additional features to the program. unfortunately, MessengerPlus also includes (in its default Installation), C2Media, aka Lop.com. This C2Media software will generate a large number of popup and pop-under adverts when in stalled on your PC. it can also severly degrade the performance of your PC. In the Registry Key it picked up these
MsgPlus. Encrypted
HKCR\MsgPlus.Encrypted
DefaultIcon
HKCR\MsgPlus.Encrypted\DefaultIcon
Shell
HKCR\MsgPlus.Encrypted\shell
MsgPlus.SoundPack
HKCR\MsgPlus.SoundPack
DefualtIcon
HKCR\MsgPlus.SoundPack\DefaultIcon
Shell
HKCR\MsgPlus.SoundPack\Shell

As for the registry keys, they're associating Plus! with encrypted log files and sound packs (and probably script packs) so that those files, when you open them, can be opened/handled/processed by Plus! .

I don't understand what needs fixing... That sounds like it's working as it should... Would you care to post a screenshot?

From the sounds of it he expects the feature to enable you to run multiple chats side by side in the same window
