not sure what the deal is. Panda and Avast say Win32 Trojan down loader!!

This is great!

It's more than likely because I unpacked the messenger .MSI installer and repacked it with patched files to remove the advertisements.

EDIT:

Actually, if needed to prove it's clean I will upload the source.

Thread has been updated and virus scan reports have been posted. littleneutrino I suggest you update your Avast database.

Sorry for the double post.

The download link provided says "That item seems to be missing". I can't even view your skydrive public folder.

Microsoft have disabled my SkyDrive account. I'll look to host it else where.

[McDave]

That sucks. Supprised they check your files for things that violate TOS.

[tom01]

No big deal. I'm working on a new method of install now, should take the installer down to 14MB and half the install time and maybe remove all traces on uninstall. Shame about the first post though saying it was malware. Seems to have killed of the interest abit!

Also, new link added.

[BigDaddy]

Looking forward for your next release.

[Olemus]

Also looking forward to it, dont be disheartened by the 1st post.

Why don't you people if you want an alternative download just download from here

Why don't you people if you want an alternative download just download from here

because the official installer sucks

[starburst1980]

Not sure if this is legal...

How would I do it manually? I have clean install and would hate to run WLM installer in it. I extracted Windows Live\Messenger folder from my last install backup image into Program Files and also sirenacm.dll into System32 dir. WLM launches but is unable to sign in. What else do I need to do?

[Joni_78]

Nm, I got it working :).

[FUJ!N]

Will this version work on Windows server 2003? If not, could you make it working for w2k3 too ?
