Default MAJOR WARNING for MSN users
Anyone using MSN messenger 7.0 (or probably others) with Messenger Plus!, if asked to update to the latest version of Plus!, decline.

I updated Plus! this morning and my IE browser was hijacked.

Several malware applications were installed onto my PC. Not my AVG nor any of the other spyware programs picked it up.

I am now attempting to remove the malware, but thought it would be nice to let y'all know that the latest update of messenger contains spyware.
