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 :p.

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