Adaware should not detect Plus! in any way if you choose not to install the sponsor.

only anti virus programs find msg plus! bad. But he used a spyware scan program. Which should have found this. But maybe your search also includes an anti-virus. What program do you use anyway?

Here attached is a screenshot of a recent scan from my Spyware scanner.

I do realise spyware does come from other sources, blah blah, but I wanted to know why from Messenger Plus as I had the chance to find out. How the hell do I get rid of the rest anyhow? They keep popping up!

As i was saying, none of these things from the screenshot are related to messenger plus! except the one called messenger plus which are the actual files, not the adware.

The program that stated Messenger Plus was pcOrion. The others do detect a lot of spyware recently, and adaware.

Hmm try searching spyware with a different spyware program like spybot search and destroy.
if you also get messenger plus popping up there then its definetly messenger plus! If not then its just ur program stating that messenger plus is spyware even though it isnt. Basically like monstor.rat said.

i didnt mean you to tell me what programs u use

The Messenger Plus! that comes up on there, is as monster.rat said, the actual files, not spyware or adware.

Having Kazza on your computer is likely to cause you to get a lot of spyware as well. Fomr some of those things, it seems like you are getting them off websites you visit. None of the other things are realted to Messenger Plus! at all, or else they would have been reported before.

I think you should revise websites you have been on recently, and other things you have installed/modified before jumping to the conclusions that Messenger Plus! is the route of all your spyware/adware/virus problems.

Will do, thanks guys. By the way, I had Kazaa installed a long time ago but I had deleted that program. Why do I still get them popping up?

try using a different program for searching spyware.
go to download.com and download either, spybot search and destroy or/and ad-aware

These are more well known and probobly wont find these kind of errors there.
