Messenger Plus! has actually helped Microsoft, so I don't see why they are seeing it as a threat.

That's sad when Microsoft doesn't show up any respect. Plus! is the one and only, what makes MSN Messenger better! As serious supporter of Plus!, im signed.

I've translated the petition to Estonian, so it would be easier for my people to understand it. I hope it will help you, Patchou.

Justice for all!

I know that.

I mean, MSN is still apart of Microsoft and thus all of Microsoft should support Patchou, no?

Although I do not really support the addition of (optional) adware to the Messenger Plus! software package, I do consider Messenger Plus! a valuable and worthy piece of programming. And although I haven't used Messenger Plus! in quite some time because I use Trillian now for AIM, Yahoo and ICQ, the two years that I did use it, I enjoyed every bit of it. I also consider it unfair and unethical of Microsoft Anti-Spyware to flag harmless and valuable software packages and hurt the reputation of its creators.

Therefore I gladly signed the petition.

Is there any chance of seeing how many people signed the petition already? And what number of signatures is the unofficial goal?

What the hell? I'm sorry but i dont understand why you are complaining Patchou, your program has the 'potential' to install adware(yes i know its optional) but I'm clearly stating thats the reason to be even included within Microsoft Antispyware, Clearly also is the fact that its a 'moderate' threat and clearly states if you know what it is, click Ignore. Is it really that hard to understand? There policy states "the policy of Microsoft Anti-Spyware is to flag all installers which bundle spyware/adware as being potentially dangerous" I'm sorry Patchou but it falls into that catagory. Do you honestly think there going to give-in or even care? No, they, Microsoft, are placing it there for the benefit of the computer illiterate. If they do this for you then more programs will do the same and Microsoft would have to bend for them also. I'm sorry but I will not be signing for someone so petty. Remember kids, a reminder of my point; Ps I will be screenshotting this post as i fear due to community biast, this will no doubt be removed.
