O.P. Shocked  "Virus found" message during installation
[Image: virusid9.jpg]

I downloaded and tried to install new WLM 2009 beta compitable version one hour ago. During installation my anti-virus software (Up-to-date Kapersky) gave this warning message. The message says that "C:\Program Files\Circle Development\uninstall.exe" is a virus. Indeed that directory contains nothing but that "uninstall.exe" file, and is very suspicious.

I didn't suspect Messenger Plus for that virus warning at that time. When I opened WLM, there was no change, I didn't see any of the Messenger Plus features or buttons on the window. I was about to report this by opening a topic like "No change after installation", but decided to give it a try once more before doing that. (Note that, I did my other jobs during this one hour period, but didn't have any virus activity reported). During my second installation attempt, I received this same virus warning window, and I suspect Messenger Plus now.

Is there an explanation for this issue? Can this be doing of the sponsor program (I selected to install it during installation)?
