Well I came here to check out this addin after my OfficeScan AV server lit up this morning from more than a few users (some of our developer and designer types have admin rights on their PCs) installed a v3.4 beta build of Messenger Plus! (they are running MSN v7 beta). All of them had "Soap View.exe" ID'ed as having
TROJ_SWIZZOR.R. This along with the mysearchnow toolbar install and the creation of the desktop shortcuts, has placed this site on our blocked list. I think another revenue model is needed to keep us corp weenies from being forced to block this site.
I just tested the beta install myself and there is a prompt to NOT install the sponsor stuff, but it looks too much like a "EULA" type prompt for someone pounding through the install. Even tho there may have been a few that actually read these dialogs and thought it a "good idea" to support the program, none were aware that they would be ultimately getting their AV client to email me.
