Hey Hey,
My dad decided to use a spyware checker (i don't know which one, he's installed many.. *woot*) and it said was some sort of spywear program and uninstalled it. Is there anyway to update/change the sypware definitions to stop from being listed? I am an avid plus! user, and loved 3.5 while it was installed.. i'm going back to the last release until i can figure out how to stop those programs from picking it up (isn't a super big deal, but installing it every second day has become a pain )

Anyone got idea's on how to stop it from being listed?

Thanks,
S.D

We gonna need to know the name of the anti-spyware program before we can help. You can probally configure tis anti-spyware program to exclude Messenger Plus! somewhere.

If you're using Microsoft AntiSpyware - then after scanning, select Ignore under MsgPlus!

I'll check some logs and/or reinstall 3.5 and do scans with each program and see which ones pick it up.. It was either M$ Anit-spywear or Adaware SE that he used, because those are the ones that were used in the last week...

some ppl (i know 4) dont use plus because of that, they think that spywares/adwares are instaled even if you chango to not install sponsor

thats really bad i cant send custom sounds to them

It's probally MS Anti-Spyware then. Adaware will only detect the sponsor when you have it installed and not Plus! itself.

Follow Ahmed's instructions to ignore Plus! in MS Anti-Spyware.

Done, twas MS Spyware *shakes fist*... thanks for the help! hopefully it won't happen anymore.. now to the task of retriving all those plugins... *woot*...

there surely is a way.. if many people complain, companies who see Messenger Plus! as dangerous will need to reconsider their position, test Plus! for 5 minutes and see that they were wrong, so, write to them! .
