O.P. Something has to be done
I just logged on today and realized that only 2 of my buddies on my maxed out contact list has MsgPlus! so I decided I might as well spread the word.
But then I remember my last unfortunate try to spread Plus!, the problem is no one trusts Plus! anymore. And it all boils down to the one final point.
The optional Adware.
I know, I know its optional, and I know, I know, theres a 3 second warning, and I know, I know it doesnt start with any option checked off anymore but its time to remove the adware.
Too many stupid people think one of two things:
1. they have to accept because its MsgPlus!'s linsence agreement. (which is quite obviously not the case)
2. They have no choice but to install spyware or else the program wont install (like may freeware programs [kazaa for one])
The second I find to be the most popular.
And the final problem is no matter what you tell them they will blame Plus!
I think because of this MsgPlus! has hit the end of the line in terms of popularity. People are willing to give up extra features in order to twart adware.
I know, I know they are just stupid but come on Patchou, the time has come.
thanx for listening,
c00ly.
(p.s. i know i can tell my friends to watch closely but there are alot "smash installers" out there)
did you know= symantec now considers adware to be a form of virus?
