Yeah, exactly.

Why would he even want to?

just a thot - but how about changin the install process lightly for wen u install the sponsor?

i no Patch wants ppl 2 install it so he can get sum money - BUT alot of ppl r put off as they dont read those wee install screens thoroughly (if at all) and accidentally install teh sponsor software - therefore getting ads on their desktop - they assume it was Plus! and uninstall it

i no this isnt patch's fault at all but still it might be better if instead of making the box in the install program ticked and u have 2 untick it - how about makin it unticked and u have 2 tick it?

i think this wud help a lot

if u wanted 2 go further u cud even make it a special option at the end of installation and have its own installation (not in background) so that ppl nu exactly what it was maybe with screenshots of it or sumthin.

just a suggestion 2 keep ppl happy

Does Bill use MsgPlus!

carolinadrew: I'm sorry you can't make the different between an adware, a virus and a trojan because they all are very different softwares. Detecting an adware as a trojan is similar to seeing a lizard in your house and calling the police to report an aligator. As documented in my software, companies who want Messenger Plus! can automate the installation with the /InstallInstallNoSponsor command line. You know a lot of software that offer the same option? I don't.

I accept responsability for what the sponsor installs on your computer, which is almost nothing except for a search bar in Internet Explorer (wow, what a Trojan). If some users report problems related to the sponsor, I forward them to C2Media, they make a fix and I release an update. So far, no real problem was reported with the sponsor. People saying that it doesn't unisntall properly are people who tried to play smart, and deleted some files themselves before trying to uninstall the software. And as it's the case for any other program, if you delete some important files, the whole program refuses to uninstall at it's no more capable of restoring the system properly. The only thing bad with all that are incompetent IT who don't know how to do their job.

I don't like to say those things but you forced me to defend my point.

Patchou.

Btw, I just checked Symantec web site and they do agree with me: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...ad.adware.lop.html ...it's not listed as a trojan anymore.

Yeah, we even have received quite a few claims at gfdd.net about antivirus software detecting "plus as a trojan".

Well, actually, to earn lots of money . But I know Patchou pretty well and I'm 100% sure he hasn't done it, he is not doing it and would not do it either.

Hay Patchou!..
maby u should realse the md5 hash with the next realse..
There maby somone putting a trojan in your program and then uploadning it.. for public download..
If u realsese md5 hash and u tested and u included no torjan or virus..
i download and check md5 and it matches then people can stop the whining!:..

There's no way you can make a penny by distributing a trojan.. who would pay you to open backdoors on your computer? trojans are useful to hackers only.

As for encrypting the file, I dont need to, I control the official distribution souces and I know that I won't distribute a virus or a trojan or whatever else similar in Messenger Plus!, ever. I don't worry. Now that antivirus software shave been updated, we won't get anymore of these reports.
