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...
Heard of a thing called "comprehension"? Read my post again if you still don't understand, or get your daddy to spell it out for you. Messenger Plus!
as an application comes with adware--UNDERSTAND? Last time I scanned my PC with MSAS before this, it also listed all the registry entries in the results... they can't possibly be spywares!!1
fuck, how the hell did you become MVP? step out of fanboy mode for a minute, please. don't just look at things from one angle.
