i dont see the point you are trying to make it is detecting these programs because they do in some way or another pose a threat to your system or install something that you might not want you to do.
What does eMule do?

Yes, however... for example the Messenger Plus! detection. It detects Messenger Plus! as spyware, even when the sponsor is not installed. People already get confused/angry at that point and don't even bother to read the description that says it's optional. Like madman said

some joe random is scaning there system, which has plus on it but not the sponsor, and it brings up plus' files and he think "Oh no messenger plus is spyware, i better tell everyone i know"
The first example is already here.

Obviously, most of you won't actually consider my opinion because i like Microsoft.
This is not an anti Microsoft / Pro Microsoft / Anti Plus! or Pro Plus! thing like is said in my previous post.
Finish the problem
