you are missing the point of these recent discussions...
We KNOW Messenger Plus!'s installer ITSELF COULD install adware IF the user chooses to do so... But this is besides the current point, as that would be correct to detect...
The point of these recent descussions is that MSAS has gone one step further and detecting something which IS NOT there. Aka: it detects Plus! itself (msgplus.exe and the DLL's) as containing potential adware, while it never contained any adware at all. Even when you've choosen not to install the sponsor, MSAS will still give the warning.
The point is that MSAS shouldn't detect msgplus.exe, MsgPlusH.dll, MsgPlusRes.dll, etc... as malicious, but it should detect the INSTALLER as an adware containing product. If it did that, then we wouldn't had any issue with it...

Messenger Plus! is far from a religion and Patchou is far from a God. If you think this way about us, then it is not us who are biased...

The 12 year old noob does NOT need to read 10 pages of jargon at all! It simply needs to read 1 sentence, or look at 1 image, or look at 1 heading in the installer to know what he/she is installing...
Don't twist around facts please...

I can assure you that many of the top-helpers and most repected people of this community have a very good knowledge and sense about what's going on in the "real" world as well as in the PC world.
