This web site is entirely safe and Messenger Plus!, the software it promotes, is as trustworthy. Messenger Plus! comes with an optional adware program, that's all. 16 million people already use the software every day which is the best test of trust any software could hope to get.

THANKS FOR THE NEWS FLASH OMG!!!!


Sponsors are a big way Patchou gets money. If anything... you should be thankful it's optional.

I'm sick of people just taking peoples words for things and believing them without proper testing - oh, and i'm sick of the stupid coffee antivirus do blah.

Actually, Plus! is waaaaay over the 16,000,000 users, IIRC.

If we're quoting SiteAdvisor anyway...

That's more than 70% of human users saying McAfee's automatic process got it wrong in this case.

actually, tonight I read the most ridiculous comment on siteadvisor I've ever read. It's one of those "I'm an expert" moments. Anybody doing a study about the extent of human stupidity should go check it out (this or the formidable answer I recently got on Neowin from somebody else on a totally different subject... anyway, this is such a positive night, hopefully, Conan is here to chear me up. *spam* *spam*).

Indeed.  As my signature has said for much time, you need to prove the crap out of McAfee until they get that they're wrong.  In fact, www.msgpluslive.net was "On the brink" of turning into a Green site until a new wave of new users/idiots that dont understand the sponsor logged onto SiteAdvisor and complained.  And there is like, no system to prevent multiple submissions, i've seen one user comment 3+ times negatively about Plus!.  McAfee is lame, its a shame SiteAdvisor is installing by default with the McAfee 2007 (and probably 2008) products.

i guess Patchou should put in

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

In case you don´t know (and you don´t) I spent 2 hours analising this website and my conclusion is clear: msgpluslive.net is a dangerous website full of spyware and with links to lots of dangerous websites (including, of course, msghelp.com).

Look kid, you just messed up with the wrong guy. I´m am far more expirienced than you in this area, belive me.

So I recommend you to shut your mouth, stand back and let the pros do their job.

By the way, your probably just a poor bastard working for (or in) msgpluslive.com and hired to make publicit to that horrible site, so your opinion is meaningless.

And your lucky that I do not report your coment to McAfee, because if I did, you would be in some serious problems.

does anyone else see what is wrong with that?  Should we let them know that their statements are invalid due to them obviously not even testing the program to get the actual name for it?
