I registered just to post in the other thread but it was locked. Well guess what, the guy is right. Two minutes ago I got a popup about some contest where i could win. It wasn't exactly easy to see it was part of msg plus, but eventually i saw the logo. Oh well, i guess i'll just disable it in the settings right? Nope, not possible. RE: Call it what you want, it IS spyware by Patchou on 07-22-2009 at 08:27 PM What you saw was not a popup, it was a notification window like any other notification in Messenger, and it's for a contest organised this summer for all Plus! users to let them win prizes. We do that every year as a way to thank our users and do some promotion in the meantime. It has nothing to do with the sponsor or anything else, it's just a game of luck and you're free to participate or not, it won't ask any information from you unless you win anything.
