RE: Plus! , Spyware Scam ??
If you would search for forums, you would have found that lots of threads have been made about this.

There is NO spyware/adware in Plus!

However, if you choose to install the OPTIONAL sponser program, some adware is installed, but this has nothing to do with Plus! itself

If you need to uninstall the program, please read Uninstallation Guide


Absorbation, has made a nice video on how to install it without that sponser which can be located Here.............

Yes, there is optional adware in Messenger Plus. As Veggie also said. There is no spyware in Messenger Plus, however saying it is adware free is untrue.

And the adware that is there is a doddle to remove ;)
I should know: I've removed the adware myself.

You don't even need an anti-adware program to do it :D

I meant in the actual program of Plus! when it's attached to your MSN.

Using an anti-adware program will cripple the adware uninstaller leaving the adware on the computer, making it unable to uninstall th eadware even if you are using the uninstaller in the future. To fix this you need to reinstall with sponsor and then uninstall.
