hello,
first, i'd like to thank patchou for this great bit of software, and thanks for looking into this issue.
please look into this issue closely as i really do believe messenger plus! OR windows live messenger is the culprit here. the only real discussion i can find on this issue is from the redflagdeals forum, and while they may come off as abrasive or misinformed, messenger plus seems to be the only common element in all of this. that in itself is worthy of investigation.
i have something else to add to this that i've not seen posted yet and which i think may be the strongest evidence pointing to msg plus!/WLM....
at the time i received this "ihaterogers" popup, i had JUST completed a fresh install of windows XP SP2 (downgrade from win7... but that's a story for another time,
) the only things installed on my computer at the time were:
- firefox with adobe flash plugin
- thunderbird
- ati drivers and control center
- logitech setpoint
- razer mouse utility
- 7-zip
- plextor plextools
- a buttload of windows patches
and of course WLM with msg plus! /w enhancer script
when i woke up in the morning i saw the popup on my screen and freaked out... i mean.. this install was less than 10 hours old and already, my computer was infected??? it was unbelieveable. 5 other computers on my network and i'm the only one who got it. my brother uses WLM, but he's never reported anything fishy lately. i myself haven't seen this popup since... i'm kinda wishing it would come up more regularly so i could find out more about it.
this post is not meant to accuse you of anything malicious... but if someone has exploited something in msg plus! hopefully you can get to the bottom of this. thanks again for all your hard work.
