  1. spyware/adware is a huge annoyance. initially used to log your data, now its expanded on generating revenue, flood you with popups and more spyware/adware installs on top of that forcing users to either put up with it or get it removed/repaired. there should be a law in place to ban these usages of it. Geniune non-invasive ad's should be the only thing let in, eg Google adsense. Spyware/adware target vulernable users with limited computer experence. Which means it equals easy revenue, thats why some programmers place it in there so called "freeware' programs. Its a joke one little program can generate so much wealth but i think its all dirty money, its not a legitimate way of making money, as your letting the 'ware to do it all for you.

    I think its great loads of removal utilities are coming out, i myself run Microsoft Antispyware and Adaware together to form a great removal team :) Also, websites such as download.com did a great thing by removing all software related to spyware/adware programs. ALL websites like it should take that stance, make the makers of it think twice about there way of making money :D

  2. lol well since an incident with a pay phone, i refuse to use anything to do with putting in coins into machines such as pay phones, food and drink machines, i unfortunately went to get my chance and found i placed my hand in some sort of vomit :\ its really nice to know the kids of today have moral oblegation to vomit in coin machines ugh

  3. So, as post people know i have a strong feeling over the whole adware issue to do with Messenger Plus installer for sometime and with the whole download.com situation, its flared the issue up again. So i feel i need to voice my opinion to get everything straight and probably making a dick out of myself :P.

    First off, i think Messenger Plus is clearly the best add-on going around for Msn/Windows Messenger. Nothing comes close, though when hearing about Messenger Discovery, i thought we had competition, but its fell away in recent months. So Patchou, i congratulate you on making the Messenging community happy with a great product!

    What i dislike about your product Patchou was adding the adware with your installer. Now yes, its an optional install but, one of the issues surrounding that is by not installing the adware, the option is something like this I refuse to give my support, do not install sponsor. Now for one, so me using your great product and spreading it by word of mouth but not installing the adware, i am not supporting your great product? Ermm i don't think that is right.

    My suggestion to you Patchou is to research other ways of generating revenue without being intrusive and well kinda misleading by having the "Get The Facts" page saying how it wasn't spyware/adware. Surely there is another way of raising the revenue you require. There ends my rant!

    Thats my opinion of the whole situation so i decided to make a petition, to see if we can make Patchou remove the 'optional' adware bundler in favour of a less intrusive way of generating revenue.

    To sign, visit my site which is below my quoted statement and click in the navigation "Msgplus Petition" and voice your opinions.

    Just a note to anyone who attempts to spam the petition etc will be IP banned, and i may contact your ISP Company.

    Thank you to all the help :hello:

  4. It clearly states in your warranty : "Coverage does NOT include damage caused sticky jism, cavity insertion, or proximity to electical sexual devices, and/or gerbils".

    i love that quote :P

  5. the reason for having that enabled it to conserve bandwidth. Would you like it if someone was constantly downloading off you and eating your bandwidth? I think not, as MSNWar said, boohoo to you
