RE: spyware noticed when installing new version of messenger plus!!
Btw, I noticed that everyonealways say the same thing about the sponsor: "it's nasty, hard to remove, etc...". Most of those people base their assumption on what they read on other web sites. The sponsor distributed by Messenger Plus! (the C2.Lop package as described by Anti-Spyware/Adware programs) has always been removable easily from the Add/Remove Programs panel, with only one uninstall proceedure to follow. Last weekend, I had to help friends restore their computer who had some adware/spyware installed and I can tell you that thsoe who say that the Lop package is nasty have never seen this one before. It was blocking the installation of Adaware, had no uninstallation program (well yeah, it had, but they either crashed the computer or didn't work at all) spawning 7 processes, no anti-spyware program I tried was working properly on it. I had to spend 2 hours in safe mode, removing every registry entry and executables myself. All that to say that some people could use a little perspective.
