O.P. "you need to select one or more of the offers" REALLY?!
guys!

i just saw a dialog saying there is an update. so i choose to start the installer. but...

also see the attached picture. (you can see the tooltip when you click the "Why can't i continue" link in the installer)

i can't even install msgplus anymore without installing adware. it was optional before. now it's forced adware. this is unacceptable!

Yea this is some bullshit. I will definitely not be updating and will likely uninstall this software. It's not worth it to have useless garbage installed along with it on my computer.

There is no problem having multiple posts talking about this. It's still better than adware.:)

No problem if it is in the same thread.
(forum rules and that kind of stuff)
