tbh, the BBC in the UK would easily cover this story either on the news or on their tech shows.  They like covering stuff like this at the end of the news as a less serious based story. I would post on one of their forums or send them an e-mail to see if they would like to cover it, this would put some more preasure on the MS Anti-Spyware devision to get the situation sorted.

No Pictures of the petition on it's way out the door?

right.. i can see patchou giving the box to the mail man

If alot of us do that then they will cover it, post the email

This is great! I used to use MS-AS but after how ignorant they have been i switched to Ad-Aware and will not switch back. Glad to see all the support, i hope it knocks some sense into them. Good luck Patchou!

Congrats Patchou, and thanks to everyone that helped out in signing this VERY important petition.  I'd love to see their faces when they open it up. 

Makes me proud to be a MsgPlus! Communinty Member.

Don't use Microsoft AntiSpyware, that all lol

And I think Microsoft will not have a reaction lol

Well done. I am looking forward for a publiv apology from the guys at Microsoft.

Hello every body,

In only 4 weeks, you've been more than 400,000 to sign the MSAS petition. This number is simply incredible, especially if you consider that when the petition was closed, tens of thousands of new signatures were still being added every day. In any case, we think that 401,683 signature (final number obtained after excluding invalid/duplicate entries) should be enough to attain our objectives and if it doesn't, more signatures would probably not have been of much help.

The complete listing of signatures, which includes your contact information and comments, has been printed and sent to Microsoft today. The document was formatted with Times New Roman 9pt with borders size at minimum but still achieved to be 10,137 pages long! That's about 110 pounds (50Kg) of written support so thanks again for your help everyone . Of course, as the petition was sent under all of your names, the results will be made public when and if Microsoft sends us a reply. I sincerely don't want this issue to go any further and I'm counting on Microsoft to realize that it's in the best interest of everyone to solve that detection/removal problem. Keep checking this page (or use the RSS feed) to know what happens next!

I hope microsoft takes note of the petition and works with you in improving MSAS with regard to MsgPlus!. I wouldn't like to see this excellent program end because of MS.

Good Luck Patchou

No offence, but all it takes is to ignore msgplus once in the MS:AS, and it wont ever try and remove it... Bit of a waste of trees in my opinion
