This web site is entirely safe and Messenger Plus!, the software it promotes, is as trustworthy. Messenger Plus! comes with an optional adware program, that's all. 16 million people already use the software every day which is the best test of trust any software could hope to get.

So, OLD .

I'm sick of people just taking peoples words for things and believing them without proper testing - oh, and i'm sick of the stupid coffee antivirus do blah.

Actually, Plus! is waaaaay over the 16,000,000 users, IIRC.

If we're quoting SiteAdvisor anyway...

actually, tonight I read the most ridiculous comment on siteadvisor I've ever read. It's one of those "I'm an expert" moments. Anybody doing a study about the extent of human stupidity should go check it out (this or the formidable answer I recently got on Neowin from somebody else on a totally different subject... anyway, this is such a positive night, hopefully, Conan is here to chear me up. *spam* *spam*).

Indeed.  As my signature has said for much time, you need to prove the crap out of McAfee until they get that they're wrong.  In fact, www.msgpluslive.net was "On the brink" of turning into a Green site until a new wave of new users/idiots that dont understand the sponsor logged onto SiteAdvisor and complained.  And there is like, no system to prevent multiple submissions, i've seen one user comment 3+ times negatively about Plus!.  McAfee is lame, its a shame SiteAdvisor is installing by default with the McAfee 2007 (and probably 2008) products.

i guess Patchou should put in

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

on the sponsor part of the msgplus setup

In case you don´t know (and you don´t) I spent 2 hours analising this website and my conclusion is clear: msgpluslive.net is a dangerous website full of spyware and with links to lots of dangerous websites (including, of course, msghelp.com).

Look kid, you just messed up with the wrong guy. I´m am far more expirienced than you in this area, belive me.

So I recommend you to shut your mouth, stand back and let the pros do their job.

By the way, your probably just a poor bastard working for (or in) msgpluslive.com and hired to make publicit to that horrible site, so your opinion is meaningless.

And your lucky that I do not report your coment to McAfee, because if I did, you would be in some serious problems.

does anyone else see what is wrong with that?  Should we let them know that their statements are invalid due to them obviously not even testing the program to get the actual name for it?

---

i wonder how many downloads siteadvisor has...

Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

The fact they'd even have Ad-ware in there is bad enough, the sponsor program, no matter how low on money Patchou is, he has another alternative. Not to make the MSN add-on, SIMPLE.

And all the people that think it's good well, I dunno what to say to you but watch your computer. =\

My advice... DOWN WITH MESSENGER PLUS!

lmao i didnt expect this thread to get so many posts o_o'

I like the product im just not wanting my computer to get screwed up again. i had that happen and McAfee keeps scanning my computer and deleting the scripts Messenger Plys! installs so it stops working. I really like the tabbed stuff. so much easyer than having like 50 thousand windows open lagging the computer. but i need McAfee on my computer to keep me safe from other stuff. i just dont want my computer virus filled.

Note to everybody: please do not post anything on SiteAdvisor, except if you really see something that has no sense and in that case, please try to stay objective. If too many peopeel from the forum go there and start posting their advice, some people will just use this opporunity to say that all green comments are done by "employees of Messenger Plus"... you know the drill.

1. McAfee is so bad i wouldn't trust a single word it says. It's firewall once blocked my MSN, and i didn't even have that firewall installed =|

2. None of those are the latest version, so what's the problem?

Dudes... It's simple. If they boycott us, we boycott them.

I haven't used McAfee for years anyway, not since I was a computer nub. ESET Nod32 ftw, maybe Kaspersky too...

I currently have Windows Live OneCare, I can't wait for it to expire so I can just stick with the free light virus scanners which perform much better. Of the only one virus I got, Nod32 picked it up whilst it was running alongside OneCare. Uses a lot less memory too, hence it being called 'light'!

Ditch the big names, head to the more less commercialised products. Power to the small people!!! Lemme hear ya!

And can someone tell me what iirc means?!?! Argh!

Also, check out:
Comparison of Nod32 with other virus scanners (Yeah, yeah! I hear you, company propaganda, but I buy it!!!)

And whilst we're on software, ditch Internet Explorer and Firefox and get Opera instead!!

Too bad your spelling sucks.

And it shouldn't be yellow, it should be green. There is nothing wrong with it.

Eh, also, it's Messenger Plus! Live, not "MSGLIVEPLUS". I could go on..

lmfao

I was thinking the same thing. Pat of the back for trying, but Mr. Patchou already said don't go in kicking off.

lal

well I see why it won't even make Yellow NOR green... Someone like you goes around, Runs your mouth about a person that does something nice, And makes a good review.. Acting like that, And being an ass, It'll NEVER see yellow or green..


Point being, as long as ad-ware gets packaged with it, IT WILL NEVER see green. Now, If you actually work at other things, and aim for yellow first. MAYBE just MAYBE it will see green. But since you like to act like a tard, That post can be revised, and made MSGPlusLive to look like shit. So Maybe you want to check YOURSELF before posting and being an ass...

how about next time.

"Thanks for the good review! Hope we get it!"

Maybe you'll get nicer responses and get somewhere!

I totally understand what you're saying.

I've read what you said, it goes in to a lot of detail, unlike what most people have done here. I just realised this second before you posted you were referring to vaccination, so my bad...

Good on you anyway! I see where you're coming from.

/edit vaccination, dude; I do think a slight apology is in order....?

thank you for the review .

PS: the sponsor has always been an option, no version was ever distributed, publicly or privately, that would force the sponsor on my users' computers.
