MSN Messenger Keeps Crashing/Restarting..Suggests Problem With IMBooster

LouLou

Hello all.

My MSN Messenger has been crashing a lot lately and restarting (yep, I still use it!)..when I click Problem Reports it says:

"Address a problem with IMBooster
IMBooster has stopped working properly.
A newer version of this product is available that might solve this problem.
Click to download the update from the IMinent website"

Never heard of the Iminent website before (which it suggests I download from).

Any ideas?

LouLou

PS: I've tried uninstalling and re-installing MSN Messenger but to no avail.

Also, I realise I have Messenger Plus! on my PC but it has none of the carpware added.

The results of a simple Google search sends shudders down my spine:

Free IMBooster - Emoticons And Smileys 100% Free

If it's in the list of installed programs, uninstall it.

LouLou

Yeh the IMinent website looks dodgy (there's a link on the Problem Report), lots of emoticons and stuff I wouldn't touch with a bargepole. Don't see IMBooster in my installed programs list.

-TangleFoot-

MBAM?

LouLou

I'm not sure if you're asking or telling me to install it, but I have Malwarebytes already. I'll run a scan to be on the safe side (I do scans every few days).

-TangleFoot-

Hmm... according to this there are quite a few anomalies in that log of yours. Avast! is out of date for a start. :undecided

I wouldn't rely on the findings of auto-analysers.

It's still better than wading through a wall of text with word-wrapping enabled.

LouLou

Hadn't seen that website before, usually use hijackthis.de so that looks more useful.

Took off the Sony Ericsson bumpf as I don't use it now (!) and some of the entries highlighted..
