Even if this does happen, the program wouldn't have all of Plus's features so Plus would still be used.

If Patchou could find one, he would, however the sponsor works out best at the minute.

Assuming the computer already has a high ammount of spyware and adware, then Plus's small bit of adware adds to be the cherry on the cake as the processor and memory tops out with all the applications I suppose it could happen.
However the same effect is much more likely to happen if the computer had high ammounts of spyware and adware, then the person downloaded 100mb of music from a CD.

If it does Patchou would comply, so that really isn't a problem.
