Noooooooo!!!!!

we go on the street and strikes !

Messenger without Plus! is only a peace of cake

I'm currently talkign to them... the guy from support tells me those files don't seem to be detected by the latest version. Can you confirm? (if they are, let me know exactly what scan you use and what's your version). The fiels I sent him for the test are the one distributed with Messenger Plus! 3.62.

Thanks.

Patchou, I can tell you that many people don't use them, and wont uninstall it just because it says its dangerous.

At least the people who are really important...

* qgroessl raises hand... (maybe I'm important enough)

Sorry, but isn't spyware something that is installed without your consent? And doesn't MsgPlus give you consent to installing the sponsor program? These people who make the definitions are pretty stupid.

Patchou, I guess you could always get the programmers of the sponsor program to tell them what's inside the software.. talking of which, what is inside the sponsor program? I installed MsgPlus with it, and then removed it manually, so I can't tell now.

Thanks Patchou for the "tip" from BitDefender support.

You got more out of them than I did.

Version 3.62.0.146 of Messenger plus! (in my case without Sponsor option) - is not targeted by the new BitDefender version 9.5 Spyware upgrade.   Restore Files, Installed Files, Installer File - all ok now.

A BitDefender user running Messenger plus! needs to:

1)  Upgrade to Messenger plus! version 3.62
2)  Turn off System Restore (which deletes all previous restore points)
3)  Re-boot

I would guess that BitDefender's new Spyware upgrade was developed to target at least Messenger plus! version 3.54.132 - and it aggresively treats it as Spyware.

The final BitDefender release does not (at the moment) - target Messenger plus! V 3.62 (without Sponsor Option).
Lets hope it stays that way.

This thread now needs to read:
"BitDefender V9.5 Detects Messenger plus! V3.54 as Spyware."

For those people (like myself) - who only do upgrades when you have to - it is time to upgrade to the latest Messenger plus!.

well now, that's good news indeed . Let's hope it stays that way.

all scans of the messengerplus3 folder on my pc no longer detects messenger plus as spyware

well i was always worried about it being spyware..... but wiv the amount of users and the fact EVERYONE sez its optionaly theres no way it can be hehe
