well acording to a site that i went to, it seams the msn messenger plus has a lop.com infection loaded with it.
causing alot of unknown behavor problems with internet explorer and other programs.

This have been proven by me because I have had this problem with msn messenger plus before, and i have only found out this problem because i went to the site: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com
to find out why some virus, adware and spybots were causing some internet explorer problems as i said before thats when i discovered this problem.

Plus! does not have spyware nor does it have viruses or a trojan. It has ad-aware which you accidently installed with Plus!.

Please read this thread for more info:

How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor

Messenger Plus! has an optional sponsor program (which is a customized version of Lop).


(sponsor agreement screen)

If you installed it by accident, you can follow these simple steps to remove it (also posted by Carltos Cool).

Keep in mind that Microsoft Anti-Spyware alerts the user even when they didn't install the sponsor. If this is the case, you can opt to ignore Messenger Plus!, so that it doesn't affect its functionality.

i never did install it by accident i even clicked on "install with out sponsors"

so there was no accident

here check through this fourm site: http://boards.cexx.org/posting.php?mode=topicreview&t=8692 and then we will see the problem

the internet log there is mine from when i had this problem

Then either you have downloaded some virus/torjan/spyware/adware elsewhere or you just think that Plus! has them as the Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program is saying so (which is a totally false detection as Leo said).

i did not even use "Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program" to find it

As I said before you will have downloaded some other thing elsewhere not from Plus!. When you install Plus! without the sponsor it installs nothing except Plus!.

P.S.

I searched the 'bleepingcomputer.com forum' and even they state there is NO other thing installed with Plus! apart from the adware sponsor and this is only when you check it to be installed with plus!.

You have a LOP infection caused by installing Messenger Plus along with the Sponsor program tied to it.
Uninstall Messenger Plus via Add/Remove in your control panel.

well then why did my internet log say otherwise.

I am going to be honest with you. Patchou has posted the source code that it uses when it comes to selecting the Sponsor to be installed. So its impossible for Plus! to install the sponsor if you opt out of it. This seems to just be a coincidence. Its getting annoying everyone using Plus! as a fall back because their computer doesn't work.

So annoying...

mabye but that still dose not explain the log entries on the fourm site: http://boards.cexx.org/posting.php?mode=topicreview&t=8692 showing that the problem may be linked with msn messenger plus
