O.P. RE: Note about Trojan detection
carolinadrew: I'm sorry you can't make the different between an adware, a virus and a trojan because they all are very different softwares. Detecting an adware as a trojan is similar to seeing a lizard in your house and calling the police to report an aligator. As documented in my software, companies who want Messenger Plus! can automate the installation with the /InstallInstallNoSponsor command line. You know a lot of software that offer the same option? I don't.

I accept responsability for what the sponsor installs on your computer, which is almost nothing except for a search bar in Internet Explorer (wow, what a Trojan). If some users report problems related to the sponsor, I forward them to C2Media, they make a fix and I release an update. So far, no real problem was reported with the sponsor. People saying that it doesn't unisntall properly are people who tried to play smart, and deleted some files themselves before trying to uninstall the software. And as it's the case for any other program, if you delete some important files, the whole program refuses to uninstall at it's no more capable of restoring the system properly. The only thing bad with all that are incompetent IT who don't know how to do their job.

I don't like to say those things but you forced me to defend my point.

Patchou.
