User beware. This is Malware. It's too bad I have to give it a star to post this. Beta news should revoke this guy's right to put software on the site.

I've used MSN/Live since day one & haven't tried Messenger Plus! for some years: I wasn't impressed then & I'm not now, it attempts to access the net multiple times & will take you to junk sites to add the plugins etc.After uninstalling it messed up my Live installation & required a full image restore.

You can opt out of the initial toolbar installation but that's only the beginning, it then resets this & attempts to install garbage. It seems to offer a lot but unless you allow it to install crap from who knows where you get nothing.

It doesn't even add anything remotely useful & it's main aim seems to get you involved in the 'Plus! Community' which seems to consist of tacky garbage winks, emoticons, skins etc.from dubious sources. If you don't have a rule based Firewall you will have no idea what this program is up to & you are leaving your system wide open - Be warned.

No stars & that's overrating this piece of closet spyware ~

Unless this app has changed, it's full of mal ware, spam ware and hijackers. Be very careful when you install it.

I thoroughly enjoy Messenger plus. There are enough time saving apps to allow you to spend even more time on time-wasting games ;-). All jokes apart, I can't remember ever having trouble with it. It's fun and user friendly. and it helps keeps an ADHD employee, such as my self, focused at work. Also, it doesn't clog up the CPU. You wont hear any complaints me.

Messenger Plus! is no longer called Messenger Plus! Live. The latest version, 5.10 is compatible with both Windows Live Messenger 2009 and 2011. Besides the traditional features that is famous for (multiple accounts, Lock Messenger, skins and scripts (now called plugins), sounds, emoticons, it has a brand new "Skin Designer", where you can create skins all by yourself, in just a few clicks. A lot of the popular skins have also been updated for 2011, and are available for download on the home page. The software is still free and safe to use, if downloaded from the official site.

Wouldn't work in my "limited user" account. I use that to help prevent malware and that is more important to me than the features this offers so goodbye Messenger Plus!

The fact of the matter this author initially used deceptive dialogs (that have been clarified in more recent versions) to install the adware AND pushed adware to users during an online upgrade without a consent or asking their permission, along with hiding himself using domains by proxy as a domain name shield service should speak for his lack of integrety...
