Nobody ever forces me to use ANY programs. And all things considered, I'll take your advice in this case.

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
Wow, that's really good advice... While you're cooling your temper a bit, I can tell you that I DO create software every day. That's been my profession during the last twenty years and my hobby ten years before that. But even without that backgro...

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
I understand that you have a vested interest in this program and that can make you a bit emotional about it. No hard feelings. But don't underestimate the bother the sponsor program can give a normal user or the intrusiveness felt by it. Will peopl...

RE: Uninstall of sponsor doesn't work!!!
Both the size of the box and the maximum number of characters it allows is inadequate. Normally, when a textbox is to small, the text will just scroll horisontally. It this case it doesn't, so maxchars seems to be at 5. When I enter character number...

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
... and, no, it wasn't as easy as uninstalling. Plus went away nicely, but the sponsor program stayed behind, since I wasn't able to fit seven fuzzy digits into a textbox that only accepted five.

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
Now you are just being silly. Or you don't understand what 'customer' means. Of course I'm a customer... or rather was. Regarding your suggestion of giving patchou a mothly salary, I can only point to a product of which I am a customer - and has ...

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
Thank you for your definitions. I'm quite aware of these. I'm not debating the technical definitions, because in the end they don't matter. What does matter is the public's view of the product. Winning a legal case is not what's at stake here. B...

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
This whole attitude "it's your own fault, you didn't read the fine print" is stupid and damaging for the image of Messenger Plus. I know insurance companies get away with murder by referring to their fine print, but we all know what we think of t...

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
That's B***S*** First of all, that dialog is purposely made to look like a standard license agreement, and we all know that noone reads those. Secondly, I cannot agree to something which I'm not fully aware of the consequences of. "A sponsor progr...

It does things to my computer that I haven't told it to do, that I don't want it to do, and that I can't make it stop doing. Virus, adware. Same thing.

RE: internet explorer hijack by msgplus!!
Yes, diablo, it does. And then they try to blame it on you. (What? didn't you read the minuscule license text? You better do that next time.) And getting rid of the damn thing doesn't work either. Damn virus software.

Uninstall of sponsor doesn't work!!!
I tried to uninstall sponsor as recommended in this forum, but it did not work. I still get the search bar and the stupid pop-up ads. When the un-install gave me those fuzzy numbers, there was only room to enter five digits in the textbox underneath,...
