There are many many companys out there who like to pay programmers each month to add spyware to their programs but why has this got to happen with msg plus. I know you can try uninstal lthe bundled software but it dont always work and i have had to format lots of times due to this "socal bundled software" companys who want companys like msgplus to add their spyware to their programs is silly! and i think people who make this bundled software should be sewed to hell!. I like Msg Plus alot but i wish you can offer a Spyware Free Installer on the next release

More so, MsgPlus! is not a company. Messenger Plus! is the product of a single man, who we call Patchou. He had quit his job to work full-time on MsgPlus! and in order to not starve, he added a nice sponsor (which does not harm in any way your computer).

To remove the sponsor, try the instructions in the link you were given. There is no way it was installed if you refused. Make sure you're not confusing the adware with any other sponsor of another program.

Try installing MsgPlus! 3.40.0112 BETA, as some bits of the sponsor have been improved, and might be able to help you.

Well when i managed to get a clean install on there i run Microsoft Anti Spyware and it wanted me to remove it from the system! so yea seems i have to install it again and find out why! I myself do not like Adaware/Spyware sponsors and i would not add their Software to my installs even if they offered me 1 Million Dollars. I just cant understand why this software is being removed by Microsoft Anti Spyware it seemed it wanted to open allot of connections before and after install also!!!

Microsoft Anti-Spyware only tells you that there is Adware in the installation file. It doesn't say that it has been installed on your system.

this is after the installation when MSN is running!!!!!!

look, heres the deal, there is no spyware in messenger plus and like everybody said, it is optional adware,  and even if virus detectors pick it up its not true, i know my virus detector goes of with lop.com when i install the sponsor but thats only because its adware, there is nothing dangerous about messenger plus

Ok, calm down. As previously mentioned, if you selected to NOT install the sponsor, then the sponsor was NOT installed.

After all this, if you run a scan with Microsoft AntiSpyware, yes, it tells you that MsgPlus! contains adware, it does not say that it has installed it on your system, because it hasn't

Don't use Microsoft Anti-spyware... it's still a beta (not a final version) and gives lots of false warnings... It will detect Messenger Plus! even if you didn't install the sponsor. As the other guys have told you, the sponsor is optional and won't install if you choose not to.
Check How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor if you need more information.

patchou should make an automated message for anyone who asks about spyware and all that stuff so people wouldn't waste time answering the question everyone knoe the answer to...

well i dunno why it wanted to add it to my system i clicked NO - ill check it out again anyway! i wish spyware/adaware companys servers to fry LOL . why cant patchou make a payment plan ill pay for it yearly if it comes without this sponsored install!! its 100% worth $30 a year if not more!

isnt Ytunnel a yahoo thingie?

Yes YTunnelPro is for Yahoo what is your point!! about YTunnelPro ?

whats my Point? why mention that in this forum? nothing to do with msgplus,

if you are a programmer which i do not think you are then you wouldent understand the post DLL Injection is used in programs like Msg Plus and (YTunnelPro) This is a example of programs that use DLL Injection!!! i did not say YTunnelPro relates to Msg Plus

no im not a program, nor do i wiish to be one, , u dont need to explain what DLL is an or does, i might look blonde but i aint stupid

Hi,

vb_packets... i'd just like to say that from my experience and knowledge, it is IMPOSSIBLE for your computer to be infected by SpyWare from Messenger Plus! if you REFUSE to support messenger plus and not install the sponsor.

The ONLY other way that you could have installed spyware/adware along with Messenger Plus!, even when refusing to support and not install sponsor... is if you have download Messenger Plus! from an unofficial location and that version of Plus! has been edited to install spyware/adware.



If the reason why you are getting spyware/adware along with Plus!, is because some third party user( s ) have edited Plus! to install spyware/adware no matter the input, then i have sympathy for you and for any other user who has experienced the same situation.

My question to those sad, pathetic user ( s ) is why? yes, maybe the answer to that is quick money. But why not earn well deserved money by creating your own piece of software which will be respected by hundreds if not thousands of users, just like Patchou. Patchou has spent thousands of hard-working hours into Messenger Plus! and a darn good job of it he has made, but low-lives like you are making those programs created by dedicated developers look worse than they deserve to be. Get a life!


Anyway's, sorry.. i'll stop yapping on



Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX


p.s. if any of this did not make any sense, im sorry . Another typical friday night

i have a life thanks. bye and my software i would sell it and not use these sponsored programs peace im out!!!!!!! bye kids. good day

did he just call plus! illegal

I think someone misunderstood something. Edit: or maybe that was just me.

But well, if we're going to turn into little kids, then forget it.

you people on this forum are so nasty - bye - i was hoping to come to a forum where u all dident cuss and cry! but u all seem to hate on everyone who signs up to the forum! byeeee

were all nice, were just trying to tell you that plus! is no threat and perfectly safe

Not to sound rude or anything but I've seen alot of this lately...it doesn't matter what anybody says they'll just assume what they want to and ignore the facts ---Patchou is a great guy--I've had his software since it's been first introduced

I think I should post the same one I did earlier about Microsoft's Anti Spyware, It'll make more sense....If I hadn't deleted the post, this person would've read it, probably wouldn't have even posted this....PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN that's the problem. And it's probably been repeated several thousand time on this post alone, and on the mess.be forum as well.

It's just click---click---click...and bam! they accidentally install the sponsor software and then complain about it.

and 1 other thing....IF YOU USE MICROSOFT'S ANTISPYWARE, it will detect Plus as a Spyware Bundler it doesn't mean that it installed the sponsor software if you REFUSED to install it.....to some of you who saw my post earlier before I deleted it, Anti-Spyware programs will detect 87 processes even though you didn't install the sponsor programs, I've got it installed and there hasn't been any troubles since then.

Finaly some one explains the microsoft spyware crap, just install a new spyware scanner and I'll bet that msgplus will not be found as spyware with anyother program.
