Just another stupid thing that thinks MsgPlus! has spywear.... Don't pay attention to it... Good thing is that one doesn't seem too popular since this is the first I've heard of it.

Anything to do with Patchou or Messenger Plus! is considered as dangerous, even these forums.

In our tests, we found downloads on this site that some people consider adware, spyware or other unwanted programs.

Come on! That only shows 3.61 and 3.62, not 3.63
The current version is 3.63, so who cares. Just believe in yourself, those adware/spyware/virus scanners are not even trusted though.
I used Windows Live Safety to scan my harddisks and found 3.61 installer is an adware, used windows defender, it also shows that 3.61 installer is an adware. Thus, the overall result, it's the installer and not the program; believe in yourself and not those scanners!

Agreed, they're talkin about the download NOT the installer

RE: Site advisor by Supersonicdarky on 05-29-2006 at 11:26 AM
but then how are the forums dangerous? (and patchou.com)
RE: Site advisor by GiantSpider on 05-29-2006 at 04:53 PM
Well since Plus! has been downloaded over 150,000,000 times, I don't think that SiteAdvisor is having alot of sway on the minds of the people.
RE: Site advisor by fergofrog on 06-03-2006 at 11:11 PM
Just don't listen to them.
RE: Site advisor by Patchou on 06-05-2006 at 05:21 AM
Still, I find it excessive to mix adware, spywares and viruses in the same bag. An orange flag would probably be more appropriate and justified.
RE: Site advisor by stadi on 06-07-2006 at 10:00 PM
There's an option at Site Advisor that tha owner of the site can comment about it. Patchou, you should comment there, maybe they'll change it to yellow then.
