ZA complaining about MP!L by KaotiX on 09-09-2006 at 02:26 PM

Silly me, but what's this?

Thanks.

Oh no, thats ZoneAlarm.
Well what you see is a warning. it isn't fake, it's a missunderstanding.
MP!L will not harm your computer in anyway, and isn't spyware. (as many of the other members will tell you)

I think ZoneAlarm is being a bit over the top.  That file is only the installer and can't really do much, you can even get rid of it if you want.  MsgPlus does not do anything that is stated there and is very safe for use.  This seems to be yet another vrus detector that seems to think that msgplus is some kind of malware no matter how much we complain and explain that it isn't.  I hope this doesn't start another wave of people not trusting msg plus because of this.

That's nothing to be worried about. This is a problem being caused by the generic message output in ZoneAlarm. You can read all about it in this thread

Zonie Alarm.. Great.
It's the worse (in my opinion) internet security now. It apparently blocks everything, including access to WLmessenger.
ZoneAlarm, not a trusted piece of software now.

Oh, ok, thanks. Just wanted to be sure it wasn't something dangerous pretending to be MP!L ;)

It might start a wave of people not trusting ZoneAlarm, i have seen this happen with ZoneAlarm before (with the wmp10 install pack instead of MP!L). Its ZoneAlarm that's the problem.

As long as you downloaded it from msgpluslive.net, it will be fine.
