Hi

since i updated the last version of Messenger Plus 5.10.0.748 my antiwalware software find now strange entries in registry...

i have the message from emisoft antimalware scan report :

Key: hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\ext\stats\{963b125b-8b21-49a2-a3a8-e37092276531}
Trace.Registry.getstyles!E1

Key: hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\ext\stats\{963b125b-8b21-49a2-a3a8-e37092276531}\iexplore
Trace.Registry.getstyles!E1

more strange, emisoft CANT remove these entries from the registry

it is toolbar installed automatically with MsgPlus?
it should be nice to have an option to install it...or not...

and i never got any answer about my problem of the chat history and problem i have since the 4.8 version

is there any support for an answer?
thanks!

Mod Edit: Changed thread title back to original as it went wrong when I merged the threads

Can't find those keys on my PC. Did you install the sponsor? If not, it may be something else you have installed

A quick Google search for the GUID 963b125b-8b21-49a2-a3a8-e37092276531 shows that it refers to a browser plugin ("Browser Companion").
There is nothing special about it in terms of malware or whatever. It absoluty is not spyware either. It is installed because you have choosen to install it.
Also note that it could have been installed by many programs, aka it might not have been Messenger Plus!.

Either way, if it was installed by Plus! then, as said before, you have explicitly choosen to install it. The setup of Plus! will not install sponsor stuff automatically; you need to tick or untick (according to your choice) the checkboxes and confirm the installation of those sponsor tools/ads.
Nothing gets installed by force.

And in case it was installed by Plus!, then you can simply uninstall it by running the uninstaller of Plus! and by choosing "uninstall sponsor".
Or by searching for the uninstaller of that ad/toolbar in your "Add/Remove Programs" list in Windows (depends on what flavor of sponsor you have).

Also, that same Google search I refer to above also shows that this Browser Companion sometimes comes with its own uninstaller also.
Third, another way to uninstall, or at least disable, browser plugins is to go to your browser settings.

chat logs - history
and
chat logs viewer

See my previous post why. Your message wasn't deleted but moved to the appropiate thread: chat logs - history.
[/OFF TOPIC]

So what is this Linkury toolbar, a form of malware, that installs itself even when you clearly specify it to not? It's given me and my friend a helluva time having to get rid of it, as it creates a folder in program files but no start menu directory nor does it show up for proper removal in add/remove programs. It's also extremely stubborn by having a process in task manager and a DLL that is "write-protected" and cannot be deleted.

If this is the kind of garbage that brute forces it's way in against the user's wishes upon a new update to Plus! then we're going to stop using it altogether. Fancy font colors and WAVs in chat windows isn't worth risking our computers over.

Cadavre, I'm not sure about what you're talking about but nothing gets installed by force, if you specify not to install the sponsor!. Let that be very very clear.

I didn't check the sponsor, nothing was checked, it was checked when it comes up but I unchecked it and proceeded on with installation. I have no idea why it decided to brute force itself in anyway. Either your update was hijacked by a third party or things simply aren't the way they used to be.

i had exactly the same problem...
