What is this when I install msgplus from
MsgPlus-301.exe or from SimtelNet,
I get a Trojan to my computer.
The Virus is called located at: X:\PROGRAM FILES\C2MEDIA\SETUP.EXE.
And it is named as TrojanDownloader.Win32.Swizzor.ag
It comes with the installation program.
Is this some accident or is this your policy?
Just curious.
Shmuel.

It's an optional sponsor, just dont select "I agree" which is clearly marked and its not a trojan either just most virus scanners think so

, indeed. The only "threat" is a few ads 
, and they arnt that obtrusive.
Here are removal instructions:
1. In Windows XP, click "My Computer", and then in the top left corner click "Add/Remove Programs". In Windows 95/98/98SE/ME, click "My Computer", then "Control Panel", then "Add/Remove Programs".
2. Find "Messenger Plus!", In Windows XP, Click "Change/Remove" or just "Remove" (whichevers visible), in Windows 95/98/98SE/ME, Click "Add/Remove"
