I thought about it for a bit, as I don't want spyware on my computer... but I decided that messenger plus was safe, and that it must've been something else that was sending these packets. Either that or they had allowed messenger plus to send anonymous numerical statistics, lol
There is no spyware bundled with Plus! so on that your friend was wrong... There is however some OPTIONAL adware... that you can install when you install Plus! -- but you have to be a complete idiot to install it because it's soooo hard to accidently install it.
With all that said... even if you would accidently install the optional adware... it is completely harmless to your computer... and it only makes Patchou money when people use the features in the optional adware.
