hmm, I would like to see the extra numbers in brakets 3.2(0.100). Or somewhere else on the page.

Also have "This download includes optional adware" (add optional word). The download.com review has it.

Would be happy to add positive feedback once again as soon as I get chance. :)

v Hum...the editor's note seems to imply that the adware is optional but it does not clearly say so, I know if I didn't know better I would actually be scared of downloading Messenger Plus, be nice if they said that it was optional there...
The review clears this up, but I actually would see all the bold scary text first (if I were unknown to the optionally of the sponsor) about spyware and stuff on the editor's note...Wish they would fix this...

When they responded and said they would consider it I laughed, what company actually considers something a user suggest. Stop right there, you have an idea for Messenger Plus! you visit the offical forum and make a suggestion and a poll, if its useful it possibly could be added. Many people complain about the optional sponsor program because its installed. As a beta tester I install it with every release to make sure there is no problems with it. And there is none. I fully recommend anyone and everyone to give it a test drive. If you dont like it, uninstall it. If you need help visit the forum and we, including myself, will assist in anyway we can. Messenger Plus! is the addon of the future and will only get better, this is shown by the 4 million users, currently using Messenger Plus!. Once you install it i guarantee you wont be disappointed. Enjoy.

I feel people are giving Messenger Plus! a bad name because of it's Optional Sponsor installed which you have the option of installing or not. Don't believe me, view this screenshot and read the bottom two options.

People give Messenger Plus! a bad rep because they think Messneger Plus! does things that it doesn't. If you say you dont want the sponsor app its not going to install it. Being a Beta tester of the software I install the sponsor with every build I get, trust me there are a lot of builds. The optional sponsor is adware not spyware. Two different things. The sponsor changes the homepage, adds a searchbar, favorites and desktop icons, nothing else. Patchou cares about his users that is why the sponsor package is as lite as it is. If he didn't care you wouldn't even have the option of installing it. I am sorry for this rebuttle against people giving Messenger Plus! a bad name because of their experience and not reading what they install.

People this is one of the BEST addons for MSN Messenger alive. You have been told this by regular users, and by myself who is a beta tester (check the about section, my name is there). Don't let people change your mind about the software. Just read before installing. Once again thanks for reading. And please enjoy using this wonderful piece of software as so many do.

I hope they will accept it. Sorry for bring the read back up but decided to post another review - so to speak -
RE: download.com opinions needed by riahc4 on 10-02-2004 at 11:11 AM
