Well I watched a few minutes of the news yesterday and noticed there was an upcomming story about how to keep your PC hacker/spyware/trojan free. I decided to watch it becz those n00b segments are usually prety funny, but the comedy stopped when they mentioned a list of things to stay away from.

"...Stay away from Peer to Peer programs such as KaZaA, as a lot of files, along with the program itself, contain ad/spyware or viruses, and stay away from 'enhancing' programs such as Smiley Central, Outlook toolbars and Messenger Plus! as these also contain ad/spyware..."


(Email already sent to them...)

Thats really bad to hear that it was on National Television, but surely they don't believe that themselves, there must be someone there that isn't a n00b at all and knows about Plus! It really annoys me when such a popular extension gets put down like this, they ridicule Patchou, not only the Extension when they say this.

O god.......here we go again. I really HATE people that do this. I honestly think that someone should put a full Lop.com package in the next MP! version and send it to some people like this. Then they'll know that Patchou cleans out the sponsor. Well, I know it's not going to happen, but it would be interesting to watch.

that is really sad....


What is the name of the station? I am gonna write a letter myself to them because its not right what they just did.

Ummm guys what do you think you will solve by bitching and writing letters to the station ???

As long as the toolbar is there, there will be people saying it has formatted my harddrive, or uninstalled internet explorer

Just live with it....

You didnt make it, try not to get so affended

wtf, wat faggots. dont get programs bout fings tellin ppl not to buy pepsi or watever... swear dere must b a law or sumat bout tellin ppl, not to buy another product or sumat like that

The idea behind writing to the stations is to make sure they have there fucking facts stright before the air storys like this.

Also it makes sure they know that they were wrong.

that is trully sad....

shame on that station for saying such a thing!

To be honest, its not really their own faults, its the complaints that they've had, them themselves can't really be blamed.

---

cant they be sued for libel?

Mabye they know something that patcho isn't telling us?

they should first check the sponsorprogram themselves to see if the complaints are correct.

I guess those blind idiots think the sponsor agreement and the "I refuse to give my support, install messenger Plus! without the sponsor" labeled radio button are invisible.... they must think that , If they bothered to use their eyes, they'd notice them.

-_- This has always been a problem.. Everyday Messenger Plus! Is being written about in the internet or somewhere else.. It can not be helped. They ONLY WAY is to stop with the sponsor program. But that is stupid.. -_- Because there is no money that way.. So i just suggest that you ignore this because this will always be a problem no matter what.!! And they are stupid idiots and bastards for being too lazy to read about messsenger plus sponsor..

I BET they actually type spyware in google and looked at some articles that had programs with spyware.. those SoBS

Dam those bastards! If they can't understand to read the agrement when installing Plus they have no right to write about it or even post it on TV!

What a bunch of morons!

This is truly sad news.... of course; I totally support any letter you could send to the station about this. I just wish reporters actually checked things before they announce it on TV... but well, everything in the world is working the same way.

Hmm...Damn TV station.  Even they dont read, clearly.  Patchou should sue .

Grr... I think there is a law against something like this.  If a news station slanders something, and it causes a lose of something, then you have a right to sue them.  And since the story probably will have an effect on people downloading Plus!, it will cut back on the people who do install the sponsor program, Patchou will lose money. 

Well dont quote me on that but I am in Law class right now and I think you'd have a really good case if you wanted to pursue taking them to court. 

Woooo court, court, court ! lol I think that would just make it worse.

even less people will download plus if it goes to court. people will think that this program has some stuff in it that it could be taken to court or something, though the real story is that that tv station is slandering plus

Well if it was in court and it was that popular that people would know about it, they'd probably also know that we were taking THEM to court, and that we were suing THEM

can't you guys just say that the publicity of being on the air was good enought and stop arguing about going to court?

Ok now stop complainging and start mailing.
Hey maybe we should send them some really fucked up-almost uremovable spyware

if patchou sues, he would maby make enough money to last untill mp4 and he could take out the sponser program!
