As it says the error lies within ws2_32.dll.

I got the same problem, and this is indeed a problem related to Messenger Plus!. After I uninstalled Messenger Plus, messenger Live doesn't crash anymore.

It also wouldn't hurt if you would change your password, because URLs are also often sent by some 'block checker' websites.

People sing in to that website trying to check who blocked them (although it is impossible to know) and then it steals their login details singing in randomly to their account and sending links to their contacts.

Hello!

I got the same problem as yours, and I am glad that you found the problem.

Can I ask you that how did you find that trojan virus? And what name is it?
I don't konw how to  scan virus  "in dos mode". @@

Thank you very much!

I finally know that what virus caused that problem.

It is "Kavo"!

I use a software named "Kavo_killer" to solve this problem.
