I don't think you have read the petition, dawgie. This petition was not made because of that warning, but because of another. Patchou explains it quite extensively at http://www.msgplus.net/petition.php :)

its still a large part of why he seems its wrong also. its not lieing, just the author seems to be in some mind bending denial. if he wants it to go, revenue methods should change from potentially harmful methods that Microsoft Antispyware will pick up

Hello Patchou,

I have signed the petition and I have placed links to the petition in many of my signatures on websites. Hopefully this will work, and if it don't then I guess you'll have to take on the software giant in court :banana:.

Then why is the MSN Messenger installer not blacklisted:dodgy:? Anyway, you're missing the point completely here: This is all about another warning as stated in the petition, and let's nog forget the fact that MSAS actually makes it impossible to remove the sponsor without reisntalling!

Please, read the petition before you judge!

I've just signed an left some nice comments for Microsoft to chew on, including that they'll have to blacklist their own product if they wish to go on this way...

Dame shame what MSAS died, because Messenger Plus! is simply a great piece of software, with or without the sponsor.... (hehe... prefer whitout myself but ...)

I seriously doubt the effectiveness of this petition but if it helps I'll sign it.
