LoLz, I went to that page and I read:
n-Case is installed with user permission
LoLz.. Honestly, I NEVER knew I had n-Case on my PC til I checked one day... I don't think I have it anymore, damm thing was replaced by this Save thing
*anyone know how to take it off?*, but I never remember anything that said that it would be put onto my PC.

xiLLeNtz:
download Adaware from http://www.networkingfiles.com/Cookie/downloads/adawaredownload.htm
It will remove it.

I didn't notice that. Unless my pop-up stopper blocks it I wouldn't want to install this, and if my pop-up stopper did block it, there would be no point installing it in the first place.

It's all for a good cause. Don't you want Patchou to move into the house he has his eye on.

emm some kind on adware that doesnt produce anoyying popups.etc
HEY PHAPS you could replace the msn banner ad with and msn plus one
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by EvilSeph on 07-12-2003 at 12:29 AM
That might be illegal though
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by Tandy on 07-12-2003 at 12:34 AM
it is, u need permission from microsoft(and a lot of money)
i dont think patchou is willing to do that
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by Guido on 07-12-2003 at 02:48 AM
If Patchou put ads in the MSN messenger ad box "legally" (i.e. just paying for them), he would be losing money.
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by dragon2611 on 07-12-2003 at 05:57 AM
ok then phaps a second ad banner?
i just the hide ad banner feature anyway so if he did that i would only see the plus one anyway?

getting permission from ms is the same as paying lots of m0ney
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by dragon2611 on 07-12-2003 at 05:06 PM
err maybe like 1 ad that popups and then closes it self.
well you know icq today that normally pops up when you log into icq and closes 30 seconds later.
so i was thinging u get an add popup when you sign in then it dissapers after x number of seconds and you dont see another one again untill you next sign on?
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by Guido on 07-12-2003 at 09:35 PM
Yeah, Patchou could earn about 10 cents per month then
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by dragon2611 on 07-13-2003 at 07:55 AM
surly it would be more than that, think of all the people who use plus, then think of the number of times a day people sign on to msn messenger.
espacilly the people on dial up who have to re sign on every time they reconnect.
i'm just trying to thing of ways of having ads in the program without annoying the hell out of everyone and without using SPYWARE
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by justlooking on 07-13-2003 at 09:20 AM
I've always thought selling the naming rights to a program would be a way to generate revenue. If they can get $100 mil from Staples for the arena in Los Angeles why not call the program something like Patchou and have a company market some products with that name or do whatever they choose with it.
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by user2319 on 07-13-2003 at 11:18 AM
I like that suggestion it doesn't works with Opera 
and yeah.. it would be very annoying
RE: Would this kind of adware be OK with you? by Guido on 07-14-2003 at 08:28 PM
Very annoying...

He's raking it in as he is, I don't think he'll really want to change.

GC: $200 (not precisely...)
game: $60
memory: $14 (?)
total: $274 * 26 =
lets make it: $275 * 26 = 7150
