RE: malware/spyware inside ???
So what is this Linkury toolbar, a form of malware, that installs itself even when you clearly specify it to not? It's given me and my friend a helluva time having to get rid of it, as it creates a folder in program files but no start menu directory nor does it show up for proper removal in add/remove programs. It's also extremely stubborn by having a process in task manager and a DLL that is "write-protected" and cannot be deleted.

If this is the kind of garbage that brute forces it's way in against the user's wishes upon a new update to Plus! then we're going to stop using it altogether. Fancy font colors and WAVs in chat windows isn't worth risking our computers over.
