I have seen other people having problem with MSN Toolbar and other softwares
reporting different malware . If you find it suspicious , remove it from
Add/Remove programs and then do System Restore to a state before that plug-in
was installed .
Start-Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore
Then , perform full scan with your security softwares and also with this
