O.P. Huh?  Virus downloaded with Messenger Plus
I have just downloaded and installed Messenger PLus. Immediately after instalation, my antivirus software (Sophos) detected a virus in a file called knobcastrulecopy.exe which was installed into a directory called DRVMAGS. I don't know whether this is part of the sponsor section or not as I am new to MSG+. What I do know is that the date and time on the directory and file match perfectly with the files installed by MSG+.
Not a good start after having read the rumours pages.

At this stage I am not prepared to uninstall and reinstall as I don't know what else this is likely to kick off. I have locked the directories so that they cannot be accessed by anyone.
