Firstly I want to say that I'm a very happy user of Messenger Plus for years so I'm not trying to bash anyone. Only wondering why Pareto Logic rates Plus! as an "infection" when running any their antimalware products (I run XoftSpy). This is what they say:
"Messenger Plus Live is a program that provides added functionnality to the microsoft instant messenger. It come bundled with the swizzor trojan as a "sponsor" program. The author had his MVP status revoked as a result of his association with well known spyware merchants."
And this is the link:

None of the other antimalware products I use (AVG, Norton, NOD32) rate Plus as a threat.
