DO not use MSN plus if you use mozilla mail!!!

[Red Squirrel]

When you install or upgrade MSN plus on your computer, it will install about 10 spyware items, which are removable with adaware.

However, it does not end here. MSN plus will also, for some reason, wipe the entire Mozilla installation to what it was when it was first installed. So all your settings will be reverted back to how they were, set proxies will be cleared, and yes, even all your mail settings will be gone, and you will loose all your emails!!!

Do not install MSN plus if you use mozilla mail!

Also, I'm not 100% sure on this one as I don't use IE often enough, but it apears that it installs an unwanted toolbar. I have one but it could be from another process of some sort, but I'm pretty sure it is msn plus since I don't install lot of junk on this computer. I noticed it maybe a few weeks after installing msn plus, since I only open IE to test my sites.

Your results may vary, as the first time, it wiped everything, but the second time, it reverted mozilla to about a month back. My accounts were still there, but folders I created were not, and as well as most emails were gone.

Msn plus also affects mozilla book marks, as I've lost many valuble book marks in the process.

I am unsure on how it affects other mail clients, or other software alltogether, but for the sake of data, do not install it.

Feel free to pass this on!
