When I today installed Microsoft Anti-Spyware program from microsoft, I as usualy scanned. It told me to delete the messenger plus! because it had an optional spyware, C2Media.exe or LOP.exe the te risk threat: moderate. I know it's only if you accept to install ads but,


What I want to say is why should such a great progam as Plus! make it possible for such spywares to spread? I know that you would say because they give oyu money but still. I am not offensive right now but Patchou or whomever made the layout did it in a sneaky way. Normally when you install they ask if you agree the terms and you press yes and continue (yeah that's what most people do), so you guys simply put it yes I agree to install the ads because you know that most people don't read? Please guys, give me a good answer Why couldn't you put a countdown before you could say yes or no, so people would read? (just wondering no offense)

as you said yourself its optional, and just to make it clear, its adware, and doesnt harm your computer in any way, you can easily uninstall it. But dont use such scanners to uninstall it,

do a google search an findout what lop.exe is or where it comes from

read what's writtent hen you would know what the nasty lop is . And what I mean is make the countdown 5-10 seconds at least. This LOP.exe or C2Media.exe starts installing all kind of weird ads and can be real annoying.

You see, you have the option to install it or not. I dont think it can get more simple

i know, just not all people do read cuz mainly this is a term and conditions where you have to press yes to continue, that's what I mean, so simply making a countdown 5-10 seconds won't hurt, it would just help people.

if people do not read terms/conditions, and just press yes to continue... than god help them all. and they will have to learn eventually ... i think plus does enough by showing you Very Clearly that you HAVE a choice of installing or not installing the sponsor.

I understand what you all mean there is already a countdown and all that stuff, but I know many who think that this is an agreement and the Plus! install ads jjust by installing it and therefor have not instaled Plus!
