According to the father, a trojan was brought down with plus! from lop.com. Any ideas what's happened as it's completely fucking the laptop over. I did NOT install the sponsor program. Thanks in advance.

Hi love_spreads. You must of installed the sponsor program for that to of happened. Or you installed another program which installs LOP.

You can read this thread on how to uninstall the Plus! sponsor: [Link]

the father? Is that like an anti-virus? If so then it might have recognised Msg Plus! as a virus. Some programs do that even though its 100% incorrect.

If you downloaded Messenger Plus! from msgplus.net and refused to install the sponsor, then you got nothing else but Plus! itself. If "the father" is an antivirus/antispyware program, I suggest you email its creators about their mistake.

I think "the father" is in fact her his/her father...

I can assure you that messenger plus! contains no trojans, it is merely a mistake by some of the antivirus companies, such as AVG Anti-virus that thinks that it is a trojan, when in fact, it is not.

How do you download Messenger Plus without downloading the sponsor program? I hope someone can help me!
thanks very much.

YOu just download the normal installer, but when running the installer and you get to this area:



you press "I refuse..." The sponsor will not be installed and you can carry on installing messenger plus! fully.

Just to clear it up, when I said "the father", I meant "my father". Stupid local ideolect.

I suggest you ask your father then where did he get the idea that it is a Trojan.

And many Anti-Viruses do see Msg Plus! As a trojan (even though its not). But if you didnt install the sponsor program then you are safe. You can tell that to your father

I tried what "traxor" said, and it didn't work. I got the virus...and luckily I got rid of it, but my friend in the other hand it messed up his computer. msgplus is just a waste of time. in my opinion it is just a way for people to hack into your computer, its useless
