wtf is with this..



i didnt delete the so called 'spyware' as i noticed it had just said everything in the folder named 'msgplus! 3' was spyware which is obviously not true. shows how crap microsofts spyware remover is.

ps. i dint install the sponsor

use the goddamn search.

This is old news, the Microsoft AntiSpyware detects some programs as security riscs even if they aren't (but most could, so it's not entirely false).

I know, it's one of these spyware detecting progs that think plus! is bad

it's just a stupid mistake that people like MS make...

Microsoft AntiSpyWare is quite good though, just make sure that it ignores Messenger Plus! as being spyware.

lol... 4177 signatures? isn't that a lot for a couple of files and registry settings? this kind of reporting is really ridiculous, it's a shame so many softare use it nowadays... "wow, I found 1 trillion signatures of a bad bad program", it just doesn't mean anything and is simply designed to scare people.

Also, if you notice the report it gave you, more than 1/3 of your registry keys appear to be related to spyware... if that's true and if itdoes remove 3,000 registry keys, then you can bet your Windows won't start ever again .

lol
i already deleted them but 2000 of the registry keys were supposedly from msgplus so i only deleted 1058

with all these actual spyware variants (not harmless stuff like plus!) and viruses, you can't really do without all this antispyware software.
