There is NO trojan in Messenger Plus! and also not on the website...

What you virusscanner is detecting is the inactive sponsor program inside the setup of Messenger Plus!....

So, forgive me for saying this, but use a proper and decent virusscanner, not something free you find on the web like AVG....

But anyways, the sponsor it harmless and wont do a thing. It will NOT be installed if you don't want to.

The sponsor is a very stripped down and customize package from C2Media. The sponsor isn't spyware, trojan or any kind of virus. It is however adware, but nothing more then that! It adds a searchbar to your MSIE browser and will change your default homepage...

If you do not want this sponsor installed then simply don't choose to install it at the sponsor-agreement screen.



If you accidently installed the sponsor, then don't attempt to remove it with programs like ad-aware, Spybot search and destroy, etc... as these programs will NOT reconize the installed components of the sponsor, they will even cripple the uninstalling routine of Plus! AND the optional sponsor.

So in order to remove the accidently installed sponsor, simply uninstall Plus! and check the option to uninstall the sponsor. After that follow the instructions presented at that time...
