RE: Messenger Plus installed SCUMWARE on my pc
I would like to point out the original poster said he got a message to UPDATE msgplus. There is no install screen.. It simply asked to update msgplus and then it just went ahead and loaded my machine with all this crappy SCUMWARE that even Ad-aware couldn't remove. I had to manually edit my registry, and track down several program directories it tried to hide throughout my machine.
Once again, just to confirm - I originally installed msgplus over a year ago, and every installation I've done since then I've always made sure to NOT accept the sponser agreement.. This time the updater decided I needed the scumware and screwed my system over...
It's really a shame to see such a great piece of software resort to Kazaa style methods to generate income. I certainly hope this was a huge mistake and it never happens again, but somehow I doubt that very much.
