TROYAN when trying to load Plus by cheetahex2 on 03-11-2009 at 10:41 PM
HI! 
Everytime I try to install Messenger Plus (I'm usin WLM 8.1 now) NOD32 closes the installation because of a troyan. I've tried different download sources but this troyan always appears.
Help please!!

Download from here: http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/ and just ignore nod32, what it detects is the adware, it is not harmful

It's also completely optional, so although it's bundled in the installer it will NOT be installed unless you select it

Tku so much for your prompt answer!
When I posted my doubt I forgot to add that I definitely had ignored the troyan and installed the Plus, but as soon as I open my WLM Microsoft closes it and sends the error message. The only way I can open my MSN is uninstalling Plus.

That doesn't sound like Messenger Plus! causing it. I'm a long time NOD32 user, and also a long time Plus! user. I have machines where NOD32 is running at the most paranoid settings, it never had any problem with Messenger Plus.
NOD32 does have problems with the sponsor, but it would notify you about that during the installation, not at the moment you start WLM. And you already said you are sure you didn't agree to the sponsor.
Could you post a screenshot from NOD32 showing the details about the infection?

Tks so much for your concern!
I now installed Plus but without the sponsor, and fortunately no problem with my NOD32, no troyan appeared, but, it doesn't install in my MSN, even though it appears as installed in the program files.
What could be the problem now??? I sure miss it!!
Tks again

Do you have SweetIM, SmileyCentral, Kiwee, GDI++ or ThreatFire installed as these are all incompatible with Messenger Plus! Live and cause the problem you are describing.
If you do, then please uninstall them and then Messenger Plus! Live will work

Tks again for your patience !! but no, I only use Plus, have no other add-ons. Formerly I used Hi yo but my Plus always remained there. Now I have nothing.
