RE: Bluescreen of Death?
Thank you for the update and apologies for my slight rudeness.

I managed to dig up these quotes from a similar problem with BSoD and Plus! from 2006:

Blue Screens of Death (BSoDs, what you call "STOP" Errors) are caused by kernel level errors, caused by drivers or programs that hook to the kernel. Messenger Plus! Live, doing none of these, can not be responsible for these crashes.

Messenger Plus! Live, being a user level program, is highly unlikely to bring down the system. However, Windows is not as immune to kernel crashes as systems like Linux, so if there's a number of problems concerning a number of apps, the combination can take down the system. In this case, it's likely to be another 3rd-party program that's also hooking into WLM, which conflicts with Plus! at a low level, causing system instability.

And the sort of program that will do that is spyware or a virus.

Which brings me to my next question: Do you have any other Messenger add-ons - including, but not limited to this list of known incompatible add-ons?

Also, I'd recommend using anti-virus software (like MSE) to scan your computer, as well as Anti-Malware.
