O.P. spyware detected by "Microsoft Anti-Spyware"
Right, so, hi and whatnot.
I recently got a spyware scanner thingie (Microsoft Anti spyware; beta), and the results say that MSG plus DOES have spyware. I went to the FAQs and this is what it says (and I quote):
The best proof that Messenger Plus! is not a spyware or another kind of virus is that no serious Anti-Virus software or Spy-Detection tool will detect Messenger Plus! as being dangerous in any way... Some lies are propagated on the internet about Messenger Plus! by people who are just trying to kill its reputation...
Microsoft came up with this anti spyware. It's not some "unserious" spy-detection, it's a good one (seriously, it is; it got rid of several other spyware things I knew I had, but couldn't get rid of). Now, I haven't removed MSG plus yet because I love this thing, and it says the danger of the spyware is pretty low.
I've already uninstalled the sponsor thing from Add/Remove programs, thinking maybe that was it. It wasn't, it still detects stuff. Anyone else have this problem and how to solve it? I probably won't uninstall it (I love MSG plus too much), but if there's a way to get rid of the spyware and still keep MSG plus, then I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance,
