Messenger Plus! contains an optional sponsor application that obviously you have a choice of installing. No there is no virus or backdoor trojan in the program. AVG does however detect the sponsor install as a trojan which it is not. Patchou has contacted AVG about it and they didn't seem to eager to fix it. So to clear up your question no Messenger Plus! does not have a backdoor trojan included. Please advise your friend that if he/she is running AVG that it will give off false reports.
