Purpose: MsgPlus.exe - An add-in for MSN Messenger. If you accept the "optional sponsor package" during installation it will also install the dreaded LOP.COM parasite that displays advertising and monitors aspects of your online activity. To remove LOP.COM you must uninstall Messenger Plus, reboot, and then (optionally) reinstall the application indicating you don't want the sponsor package. Some users have reported that it still installs spyware when you decline the sponsor package.
