After installing Messenger Plus! 3.01.94 I get Lavasoft Ad-watch warnings EVERY TIME I restart or switch on my PC.

warning is as follows....

Registry modification detected
Root:HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Keyoftware\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Value:msnmsgr
Data:
New Data:"C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background

Looks like MSN messenger is trying to add itself to the registery (auto-start).... as if MSN messenger has been run for the first time or is just newly installed.

I UN-installed Messenger Plus and the problem disappeared.

I am running MSN messenger 6.2.0137 on an XP system (all Microsoft updates and patches applied).

I have NOT applied any polygamy patches.

I rely on Ad-Aware and Ad-Watch to keep my system clean, disabling them or removing them is not an option.

I saw a few threads on this subject  named "Is this normal?".
No solution was offered.

I would like to use Messenger Plus but having Ad-Watch pop up with a registery change notification every time I start my PC is annoying (I like to keep everything clean).

If there is a solution please let me know and I will try installing Messenger Plus again.

Many Thanks

Thor
