O.P. Warning MsgPlus is dangerous !!!
Be careful MsgPlus can be very dangerous. In my school most of people who have installed the latest version have their buddy list deleted !!!

So if you want to install MsgPlus you must have a backup. Hotmail list is not a backup and is deleted also.

I would be nice if the setup make a warning that say that in many cases MsgPlus  can delete buddy list.

Messenger Plus! does no such thing.  They are obviously doing something in common and inadvertently doing it themselves.

No the problem is done by MsgPlus. We have launched Msn Messenger as specified in the setup and installing it. The installation has delete the buddy list. I don't believe that some many people can make a same mistake to delete buddy list.

They didn't install MSGPlusLive 4.0.2006.0566 by any chance now did they?

That is not an official Msg Plus! version, it's a virus!

Always download from the official Msg Plus! site or one of the official mirrors mentioned on the site: http://www.msgplus.net


This has been reported in Can't view any contact with MsgPlus.

Yes it's MSGPlusLive 4.0.2006.0566

We can't download from official because they are not compatible with WLM. So we have no choice we must download on others sites.

Thank for the information what MSGPlusLive 4.0.2006.0566 is a virus. We will look for others links with a good version.

there is NO messenger plus! compatible with WLM until the Messenger Plus! Live release, which won't happen until AFTER the WLm release. so you'll just have to be patient.

MSGPlusLive 4.0.2006.0566 is FAKE, it is a VIRUS. Made by malicious people. There is NOTHING officially about it. It is made to put MsgPlus! in a bad daylight.

As Sunshine said, if an official public version aint available yet, then there is no official public version. PERIOD.

NEVER EVER download programs from other links than the official sites!!! This doesn't only go for Messenger Plus!, but for EVERY program or tool...

There is NO good version yet. Messenger Plus! Live is still in beta and not released yet.

And there is no other place to look for Messenger Plus! then on the official sites:
http://www.msgplus.net/
