Is this freshly minted Microsoft MVP actually an adware pusher?

“Patchou” (aka Cyril Paciullo) has just been given Microsoft MVP status. Worthy of congratulation, except… Patchou got his fame through a program called Messenger Plus!, which has the option of installing LOP (a not-so-pleasant piece of adware).

Note that he does give the option to infect your machine (and quite politely, at that). But it’s still LOP.
