O.P. RE: BitDefender detects Messenger plus! as spyware
Thanks Patchou for the "tip" from BitDefender support.
You got more out of them than I did.
Version 3.62.0.146 of Messenger plus! (in my case without Sponsor option) - is not targeted by the new BitDefender version 9.5 Spyware upgrade. Restore Files, Installed Files, Installer File - all ok now.
A BitDefender user running Messenger plus! needs to:
1) Upgrade to Messenger plus! version 3.62
2) Turn off System Restore (which deletes all previous restore points)
3) Re-boot
I would guess that BitDefender's new Spyware upgrade was developed to target at least Messenger plus! version 3.54.132 - and it aggresively treats it as Spyware.
The final BitDefender release does not (at the moment) - target Messenger plus! V 3.62 (without Sponsor Option).
Lets hope it stays that way.
This thread now needs to read:
"BitDefender V9.5 Detects Messenger plus! V3.54 as Spyware."
For those people (like myself) - who only do upgrades when you have to - it is time to upgrade to the latest Messenger plus!.
