RE: SpyWare?
MsgPlus! has an optional sponsor, which is adware (not spyware). You can read more about it in this thread (click to read).

As far as I know, it doesn't detect MsgPlus! as a virus. It detects and deletes Messenger Plus!, not giving the user the option to uninstall the sponsor or MsgPlus! correctly.

That's very important. If you're not sure, state so, because you might be giving false information. (Y)
