O.P. Petition to save Messenger Plus!
Hello,

my friends, I have sad news. After several emails sent to various sections of Microsoft, the Microsoft Anti-Spyware problem that currently plagues Messenger Plus! has not been solved. This particular branch of Microsoft seems to persist in denying the obvious truth which is that their software is damaging some of their users' computers by detecting Messenger Plus! when the sponsor is not installed and by reporting&deleting files they have no reason to detect in the first place.
As I do care about my users myself, I have decided that the only proper and peaceful way (meaning, outside a court of law) to solve this matter was to create a special petition. This petition describes the problem in details and I encourage all of you, supporter of Messenger Plus! or not, to read it in details and to not jump to conclusions. My only wish is for Messenger Plus! to be treated as it ought to be, nobody should tolerate anti-spyware programs that create a mess on computers in the name of "protection" anymore. This is not about removing advertisement, this is about arbitrary assigning threat levels to products that should be left alone.

Please, read and sign the petition and send the link to all your friends, the very life of Messenger Plus! depends on it as well as the future of software distribution rights (yes, nothing less).

Thank you,
Patchou

Hello Patchou,

I've signed the petition and hopefully Microsoft will realize that they cannot take our favorite addon away from us with their false alerts.  I have also given the page to my entire contact list in hopes of support.

RE: Petition to save Messenger Plus!
i feel there should have been a counter to show us how many people have already signed the petition. Not the names and the comments (to protect privacy ;) but mabbe only the number :)
