I've unistalled the Plus! last released to avoid this from happening to me. I think someone should check the latest build released maybe there's something someone can use to update the build to the virus one.

I think this is someone just trying to sabotage the Plus Live version b4 coming out. So Im guessing the Live Plus thing should come out soon to shut up those ********** BEEP ******** ppl

are you sure you didnt download a fake version of msg plus that will autoupdate to a newer faker version to delete the contact list?

There hasn't been any update since a very long time. Plus! will therefore not be updated (automatically or not), let alone update to an unoffical malicious program.

There is also no way that anybody can change the official version listed on the official website.

If he/she does change Plus!, it would be a his own locally saved version, not the version you download from the official website (again a reason to ONLY download from official sites!)

There is no reason what-so-ever to uninstall an official version downloaded from the official website.

It can not. Programs don't work like that. eg: I can not write a piece of program on my computer which all of a sudden magically changes some random program's behaviour on my friends computer.

If you always download from official sites and don't install anything else like dodgy stuff from other sites, there is no danger at all. And in doubt, simply redownload and reinstall the program (from the official site) and/or at least check version numbers against what is posted on official sites.

Nobody can sabotage anything unless they break in into Patchou's house and get behind his computer and start messing with the code.

It will come out when it is ready. Releasing something half-finished or even something with no features will actually be worse... see my previous reply...

Hacking the server that deals with the auto-update would be enough too .

But I highly doubt that's the case, there would have been way more reports if that really was the case. I guess the fake Plus! maybe imitates like there is a new Plus! version. Maybe by letting infected users spread messages to their contacts that say something like "There is a new version of Messenger Plus!, accept this file to install it".

Also, wouldn't Messenger plus never autoupdate to Messenger plus live?

Not without asking your permission first at least.

Never doubt the fact of a dual setup program....could be possible, dunno...

No, it will be two seperate setup files. Filesize will get too big otherwise.
