RE: Microsoft ANtiSpyware Beta1 - False detections (not only Plus!)
List of all the Msg Plus! regkeys MS antispyware detected on somebody elses comp.

Clear enough i had to reassure this person she can safely ignore these warnings:
Messenger plus! is an add-on for msn messenger. During installation users may install an adware program called C2media, which is also known as lop.com.
This is a low risk application and will not cause direct harm to you computer, removing it is not required. However, its is strongly recommended that you review this application's End User License Agreement (EULA) as well as review the application's privacy policies.
Since this application gives you the option to not install adware that comes bundled, we recommend ingnoring it.


And yep, that warning doesn't only come up when installing Plus! but also afterwards with every scan. This person also did not install the sponsor. I can imagine this beeing very frustrating and confusing. At first i thought it was the installationfile it detected or that it detects it because "allow Plus! to send anonymous.." was on. She turned that off and still that warning, you can imagine my surprise when i saw the huge list of regkeys it detected (she e-mailed them to me).
