RE: Ok, so you tell us it has adware....
Please could you provide a screenshot of the exact messages your firewall provides? As well as the name of the firewall!

In case you do not know how;
Press Print Screen (on your keyboard) when the message is displayed and then paste in a image editing application such as (Microsoft paint), and attach the resulting image to your next post.

Please note this is not normal behaviour of Messenger Plus or any process to do with it.

It is possible that, if you downloaded Messenger Plus from an unreliable website, that you have in fact downloaded a program that is disguised as Messenger Plus but is in fact spyware or a Trojan of some sort.
If this is the case, it is not the fault of Messenger Plus, but a third party source who has motives unrelated to Patchou (creator of messenger plus) and no connections to Messenger Plus at all.

From which site did you download Messenger Plus? (if it's an official Messenger Plus or a mirror download it should be ok).
Please tell us which site you downloaded Messenger Plus from.

The user has not mentioned using ZoneAlarm, until he\she does, it's not wise to assume what software he\she has.

You can try this too to remove it:

The user has not mentioned installing any LOP software. Also we have no evidence that LOP software is too blaim, it could just be a firewall error, with no LOP software triggering the abnormal activity.
