Some points to take note:


According to McAfee's siteadvisor, this website is rated RED. Due to my previous experience, the last installer contains Adware/Malware when you check the box for "support sponsor". Now they have remove it and replace with a Ask.com toolbar. 1 bad thing about this program is it will "lag" my msn abit.





To play safe, I send the 2 files to VirusTotal to scan for Virus/spyware/malware, and the results are:


MsgPlusLive482 exe: 0 Infection to be found (Results)

WLM-Safe-5.05.plsc: 0 Infection to be found (Results)


Furthermore, I scan my computer for Virus, Spyware and even Malware:


Symantec Endpoint Protection: 0 Infection to be found
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: 0 Infection to be found
SpywareBlaster: 0 Infection to be found
CounterSpy: 0 Infection to be found
