RE: Warning MsgPlus is dangerous !!!
Maybe we should add that to the MP!L sticky. It seems like many people downloaded this malware and it could give MP!L a bad name even before it's released... 
What do you think? |

I agree... hence why I already PM'd Chrono about this a few hours ago...

O.P. RE: Warning MsgPlus is dangerous !!!
Some of my friends have Norton Antivirus or Kaspersky Antivirus and they said they don't see any virus alert. So it's not a virus !

If the companys havn't recognised the virus yet, or if your friends havn't got their definitions upto date then the AV programs won't recognise it. |

also it doesnt do anything that an antivirus would pick up on, im guessing all it does is loop through your contacts and delete them using the messenger API. |

no matter WHAT you think, that IS a virus. there is NO version 4.0.2006.566 in existance, and there is NO WLM compatable version, do not find other sites that host Plus!, stick with the offical site, its common sence taht if its not on the official site, it doesn't exist, and if it doesn't exist, and you've found a site claming they have it, in this day and age, its a virus

That is not an official Msg Plus! version, it's a virus!
Always download from the official Msg Plus! site or one of the official mirrors mentioned on the site: http://www.msgplus.net
This has been reported in Can't view any contact with MsgPlus.
Instances like this a simple softcore version of msgplus!live would solve any issues of a virus lol.
but unfortunely it would take just as long to code  |

It wouldn't. In fact it will make things worse...
Reason being that if a "small" version of Plus! is released, people will still demand for an update (so they actually can have some features back). The virusmaker will of course jump on this and creat such an "update". And because the virusmaker now has a very clear view of how Plus! looks (GUI) and what the version number is, he/she can make it a lot more like the official Plus! and people would have far bigger problems to see that it is fake.. .-= A 'frrrrrrrituurrr' for Wacky =-. |

RE: Warning MsgPlus is dangerous !!!
Umm a friend of mine had his MSG Plus automatically updated today and got his contact list deleted. I asked him if he downloaded anything like the MsgPlusLive 4.0.2006.0566 he said no, he told me his msg plus was automatically updated. Is there someone hacking the released version?
I've unistalled the Plus! last released to avoid this from happening to me. I think someone should check the latest build released maybe there's something someone can use to update the build to the virus one.
I think this is someone just trying to sabotage the Plus Live version b4 coming out. So Im guessing the Live Plus thing should come out soon to shut up those ********** BEEP ******** ppl

Mine hasn't tried to update, and it doesn't sound like it has happened to anyone else
