Wow, the last time I logged into these forums was back in 2003 on the 1st of November...

It's good to see that you have the support that you do, Patchou, however, as previously said, I'm not sure about the impact that this will have... Sure, it's a lot of paper, and there is no possible way that it could be considered unnoticeable, however, petitions usually have no effect what-so-ever on their cause. You have my full support, I just personally don't think that it will make a difference, unless of course this makes it onto TV and some of the bigger news sites, otherwise it'll just be a thing within the MSN Messenger community that doesn't effect anyone else (YET).

Best of luck,

Sorry but unless this gets some serious media publicity I see it going nowhere.

Making a MSN Messenger for mac is far more effort that to remove msgplus.exe from their 'malware' list, and add the sponsor instead (or not adding anything at all, as the sponsor is installed with the permission of the user).

That's great Patchou. I signed and i'm proud to have my name in one of those boxes I hope Microsoft consider the situation, and that Plus! gets the good publicity that it deserves; and no more bad words about it and the sponsor which are completely different.

Another way around it would be to go the Messenger Discovery way (I personaly dont use the program) and show ads for 15 seconds or so in the install and remove the sponsor program completely so they would have no reason to have any flag for it

Wow! Good job! I hope they decide to change their minds and devote their ressources to real problems. It's so easy for them to take the risk advert. out instead of dealing with this.

This has to put some sense in them.

I just hope they see the problem more seriously.

I sent the story off to The Daily Mirror (UK Newspaper) in the Net section...

And also The Sun so lets see what happens...

I'll post replies if i receive them.
