The sponsor distributed by Messenger Plus!

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.
Indeed, I must agree with Patchou. Web.exe (as analyzed by Segosa) is one of the rudest Adware/Spywares out there, it downloads spyware/adware that downloads MORE spyware/adware and so on. Patchous sponsor does none of this, and is
OPTIONAL. Tbh, If Patchou was hiding some nasty program in Plus!, it wouldnt have such a large user base and I for one wouldnt support it, but I know the truth and I
MsgPlus.
