Flexbeta.net lying about Plus by NeoRevan on 06-19-2004 at 12:08 AM

May not be a biggie, but if you read the Spyware Removal Tools Comparison article page 2 (The Article), you will see this:

quote:
MSG Plus! - Install optional spyware and adware programs to help keep it free.

As we all know, theres no SPYWARE in Plus!, hence this webpage is full of it.


Im not saying "Lets burn em down!", but I just wanted to make people aware of it, so action can be taken if wanted.

...lol...well you have to admit, it's about as close to spyware as you can get without actually being spyware :P They should do their research before making accusations though :-/

Civilized is best... we need to show respect or else we will just have more problems, and a worse reputation. :dodgy:

What they did is really no big deal... ^o)

well, at least they say it's optional. People use to say spyware without caring if it's in fact spyware or it's adware.

No no, they really say that the sponsor is optionnal.
RE: Flexbeta.net lying about Plus by reisyboy on 06-21-2004 at 04:43 PM

atleast they do say its optional worse they could have said DONT INSTALL it lol..... but atleast they told the truth (near enough:P) and what they said was probably just a mistake.

Just wait for them to change it now.

Someone should honestly make a movie about how to not install the sponsor program, just like the Colour Nick one.

I agree with Guido, the current sponsor installation screen is clear enough.

As for the Flexbeta stuff: read http://www.flexbeta.net/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=18&t=3517 :)
