RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
I think everyone here needs to settle down, even tho Patchou has made significent improvements to Msgplus in terms of making the sponsor installing more visible before people click Yes or No, (Patchou's Update to Msgplus making the sponsor agreement more prominent :))
its still very possible that users will still make an accident and install it without really knowing what it is.

Us users here at msgplus forums are truely sorry that you are unhappy with msgplus and its really a shame because Msgplus is an absolutely great program by Patchou... your really missing out on a whole msn messenger experience without it!

We are sorry we might come across a bit arrogant etc, its mainly because you wouldn't believe how many times this occurs! (you can see just searching through forum topics about spyware etc etc).

I can assure you and Patchou if you asked him would also that if you follow the instructions of forum members (eg CookieRevised :P) then the sponsor will be uninstalled. And if you can still find it in your heart to trust us then please install msgplus again and click NO to the sponsor agreement window! then you will have the fantastic msgplus without the sponsor :)!

Patchou does need to make a living somehow, so you can understand why he has included this sponsor in msgplus, but what you've got to realise the efforts hes down to get it where you can click "refuse" and then it won't be installed! Most software progammers that include sponsors won't give you this option AT ALL!!!!

This is the screenshot of the older version of msgplus (still version 3 tho) of the sponsor install window. Patchou has made this even clearer now so more users do not confuse this :) (as shown in my link above!). Please follow the instructions on how to uninstall, then putting it as simply as possible, if you would like Msgplus with NO SPONSOR (the toolbar etc) then click "I refuse, do not install the sponsor program". You will then be like the other 99% of happy msgplus users :)! I can assure you it is worth trying.. but then again i cannot convince you! Its your choice and you'll probably say i'm biased! but then again i am! I've been using msgplus for years and if you click No, its a great program :) Thank you Patchou :)

We of course hope you'll reconsider, but we will respect what choice you decide to take!

EDIT: I also think maybe a new section in the forum should be created for the sponsor program, to let users that are comming to the forum for help to see it visible straight away from the Main Page and then see details on how to remove it and install it without it! in different sub topics! Thankyou :)
