O.P. Xosftspy - Detect MSG plus a spyware.
First I know that msgplus is not a spyware, so I do not want to see anyone spamming here to say that MSGPlus is not a spyware, I know it!

I just want to report the thing so the MSGPlus staff, like Patchou, could write to them and try to fix the "disagreement".

Here is the text that justify that MSGPlus is a spyware for ParetoLogic Xosftspy.

Haha... that made me laugh. Strange description for software that takes itself seriously. You would think antispyware software detects threats based on technical data, not like "OMG, Patchou doesn't have an active MVP status anymore because some bloggers were upset and because of that Microsoft was too scared to express their opinion in public" :D.
Finish the problem

:undecided: If you dont want the adware program, don't install it. Nobody forced nobody to install it.

And I think Patchou is already looking for alternate ways anyways..

But the thing is, the adware program needs to be there so MP!L can stay free.
