RE: virus found?
More Information:
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/grayware/grayware...NAME=ADW_SWIZZOR.A

swizzor is basically the sponsor program attached with messenger plus. It is not a virus or a trojan.

I would advice these people that this is not a virus, or a trojan, only adware that will place a search bar in internet explorer. Also inform them that they do not need to install the sponsor as they can choose to refuse the sponsor in the instalation by choosing the "I refuse" option:

It may also be necessary to warn them not to try a remove the so called virus because it can cripple msgplus.
If the adware is installed, and they would like to remove it, i would ask you to point them in direction of this file:
http://lop.com/new_uninstall.exe

that file will safely remove the sponsor from your system.


Thank you, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask :)
