RE: MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
I have to admit, I nearly get caught every time I install MP!.  With EULA's appearing at the start of installations for most programs, it's an automatic action to hit the "I agree" and "Next".  It's very easy to get "caught out" with the Sponsor Program.

Here are a few suggestions:

1.  As someone else suggested, make the options clearer.  Remove "I agree", etc and leave it as "Install Sponsor", etc, or rearrange it to something like "Install Sponsor (I agree....)".
2.  Default to not installing the sponsor.  (This may not be an option for Patchou under his agreement with the sponsor.)
3.  When performing an upgrade and the sponsor was not previously installed, either do not show the option or have it default to not installing the sponsor.  (The user had already chosen not to install the sponsor.)

We don't want MP! to be known as one of those programs that "trick" you into installing spamware.
