Oh boy not again

Erm ... phX_x, msg plus contains no virus or spyware It does contain an optional adware that helps the creator (patchou) get some money for the work he is doing and thus keeping the software free.

I suggesst you post the name of the virus that avast is picking up. I think the cause of the problem is something else cause msgplus has no viruses

True


http://www.msgplus.net/download.php ->  Messenger Plus! 3.54.132

An updated version is comming up i think in 2 days (on tuesday here .... and in the american pennisula its monday )

Some Antivirus software such as Avast picks up Messenger Plus as a virus. However this notification is false and likely caused by the optional sponsor program that comes with Plus.
There is no virus in Messenger Plus and if it was, believe me it wouldn't get the support it does.
I suggest you disable your antivirus, install Messenger Plus (without the sponsor program, at

this screen
click "I refuse to give my support..." and follow the installer.
After installation, re-enable your antivirus software and you should experience no trouble.
Avast also has problems with this sort of thing a lot (picking up software to be viruses when in fact it is not). It may be in your best interest to change to another AntiVirus software such as Norton or McAfee with less flaws.

Yeah But one more thing ... thats a screenie of v. 3.25 .... i took a newer screenie of v 3.54 for sponsor support at MpSupport.Net

Just thought i should let ya'll know
And shouldnt someone tell them that mp itself isnt a virus ..... the same thing said to microsoft ?? Well another petition isnt reqd as ppl signed up for this so the same can be said there

Nonono, It installs, after that it picks up a virus called

'Win32 Trojan::MSGPlusSetup or something, shall i delete it and reinstall it to show you a screenshot

It's just a false notification, nothing to worry about.
