RE: Trojan Downloader
Hello Nathan,
It is illegal to install software on a computer without your consent, but there is no trojan in the software at all... and the mere fact that it has adware, which is optional rules out everything that you have just said.
The sponsor software is optional, therefore, when accepting to install such things, it was on your own accord, you should've chose not to install it, which you can. Without being so naive.
To be honest, you can just try and shut down msgplus.net, you probably don't have the correct knowledge about such a thing in any case, there isn't a single trojan in it, certain 'back doon' antivirus' detect messenger plus! as a trojan, one of which is AVG. I can assure you that it contains nothing apart from the optional sponsor.
If you would like to remove the optional sponsor from you computer, simply uninstall messenger plus! then you can reinstall messenger plus! and when it comes to a screen that has a silver toolbar on it, then press 'i refuse, do not install etc.'...
traxor.
ps. I'm guessing that you are using a less reliable Antivirus, such as BullGuard or AVG... If you would use something like Norton Antivirus or one of the 'upbrand' pieces of virus removal software, then you would see that it does not detect the sponsor software as a trojan.
