OK if you have Messenger plus!3 still installed, that's the exe it's picking up, otherwise Messenger Plus! Live does NOT use an exe file to hook itself into Windows Live Messenger.

O.P. RE: Windows One Live Care Detect Middel Security Leak in msn.live.exe
First, Thanks for the quickly Answer.

My Steps:

1./ Installed MSN Messenger 8.1
2./ Installed MSN Messenger Plus! Live 4.11 (Like an Update)

I have no Problems or Troubles, but it makes me a little Bit Nervous.
Also Norton Internet Security doesnt detect any Security Leaks like that. Its alle Up2Date.

I'm sorry to say, that i have no more Informations about this Sec. Leak. The .exe were directly removed ...

Firstly, like what Matty has said, MSG Plus! installer contains no virus whatsoever.
Secondly, if you have installed the sponsor, the virus scanners might detect certain adwares.
Last but not least, MSG plus! doesn't have any security leak whatsoever. The sponsor is basically an adware in bad terms.

After you have install MSG plus!, remove its installer immediately if you feel unsafe. Do a disk cleanup, restart you PC thereafter.
