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
.
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
