As for MessengerDiscovery, that uninstaller bug (clearing out startup items) has been there since version 2. It wasn't until I upgraded Spybot one time and got the Resident that I knew it was MD doing it. MD also doesn't reset Messenger's connection settings, causing further problems. Not to mention it's buggy, can be unstable, and rather barren, feature-wise...

This problem has now been resolved. What i did that fixed it was.
1) Uninstall StuffPlug-NG (via add or remove programs)
2)Uninstall MessengerPlus! (remove all preferences and also uninstall plugins, tho the only other plugin i had was Screenshot Sender)
3)Uninstall MSN Messenger
4)Clean the registry of all references to MSN Messenger
5)Install MSN Messenger 7
6) Install MessengerPlus!
7) Install StuffPlug-NG

After doing this all is working fine (at least after one shutdown it did)

Glad to see other people are also reporting MD to be buggy and causing problems. I first used MD 2 (2 point something but cant remember which one). After a week, i could login to any of my MSN accounts using MSN Messenger, but could on Windows Messenger. I've also had some problems with ecko_complex himself. I was doing a translation of MD, and had posted the required files onto the forums before the deadline. When the version of MD was released, my translation wasn't included, neither was my name on the Beta testers list (which it should have been). I sent ecko-complex a PM asking why my translation wasn't included and about not being under beta testers. After 2 weeks got no reply, so asked again. When i ent into the forums the next time to see if he had replied, i found that i had been banned from the forums. Luckily the Forums had technical problems so all settings etc, were reverted to before i was banned so i was able to connect again.
I thought i might just try MDX, hoping that it would not be so buggy as he was reporting that it is SO MUCH BETTER than previous versions of MD. Only to find that it was causing problems, and i uninstalled it again after about 2 hours.
