RE: Messenger Plus! Contains Spyware
Dear WJohnson,

First of all, thank you for pointing this out at these forums.

Secondly, Messenger Plus! does not contain spyware - that's for sure, if you downloaded the setup file from the official page. Of course, I realise it's now your word against mine, but this software is being used by millions of people. If spyware had been bundled with this program, it would have been noticed before.

To me, that looks like you don't exactly know Messenger Plus! caused it. Would it be possible to be a bit more precise?
