RE: Download.com bans Messenger Plus!
Im going to have to agree with Downoad.com's new policy.
Adware is very annonying and a message has to be send to the companies making it that it shouldnt be acceptable.
As for Msg Plus! I feel that a move to maybe some sort of internal ad in the program itself (maybe an ad displayed on install and in the options box or something) is the way to proceed.
I doubt contacting download.com will do anything though. The kind of language they are using like "NO EXCEPTIONS" and ZERO - TOLERANCE" I dont think they will budge.
their previous policy was only to allow programs that tell you its bundled (like msgplus) Allowing msgplus back would set a precedent that would allow all the other programs they removed back on.
Its not going to happen
