I dont know if anyone else has noticed that after they installed this shitty program they had

55 spyware objects (7 cant be removed)
186 ad aware entries

Before this i had none.
This program is a load of shit and i deleted it, messaged thier forum and now im complaining here cause its so fucking shit and id just like to congradulate patchou on making sure his program is so good and actually asks if you want to install the sponsor and dosnt put crap on your computer..

Anyways, Anyone who has this program and is reading this u should get rid of it, Anyone who dosnt, Stay away from it.

by installing something like that, read the install Notes profided after  you had downloaded it,  its your own fault that you didnt read any an  installed it , .

well at least this program still do it's job...
what's the adware entries you found?

an what Ad-aware Program did you use?.. Not Microsofts Beta ? 

Hello there,

This might be a long post, so here are my apologies in advance. Where to begin... Well, I am EvilSeph, CEO of the MessengerDiscovery company, so naturally, I am here responding to your complaints. Though MessengerDiscovery's sponsor does install many adware components, let me help you get the facts straight.

MessengerDiscovery:

- Does NOT force you to install the sponsor. It is entirely optional and much like the Messenger Plus! sponsor, you are liable, responsible and at fault for failing to properly follow the installer's instructions; you can't read.

- MessengerDiscovery is not "shitty". If you wish to provide criticism, do it on our forums and do so constructively. Flaming will not be allowed (which is what you are doing here). It does what it says it does and does it well. I don't see why this concerns any of the users here at the Messenger Plus! official forums, obviously you'll either get a response along the lines of "I don't use MessengerDiscovery, I use Plus!", "MessengerDiscovery sucks! Stop using it, use Plus! instead!" and you will probably be given incorrect information and biased support.

Before you go on and say the support I provide is biased, know that if anyone "disses" Messenger Plus!, StuffPlug-NG (2), Messenger Discovery and other programs/projects etc., I will be there defending it to the end, as I'm doing here. I am a regular and experienced user with both Messenger Plus! and Messenger Discovery, and I use both (well, use to with MSN Messenger 6.2, but I can't use Messenger Discovery now because it is incompatible with MSN Messenger 7) and I really support both. So no, I'm not biased. And as I am experienced with MSN Messenger, Messenger Plus! and Messenger Discovery + deal with users that ask for support daily, on forums, on IRC etc. my support is almost always correct. Specially because I never give support unless I know it's right.

- ecko_complex, like Patchou, has no other source of income except the development of MessengerDiscovery through its sponsor. If you can come up with a better alternative than to include a COMPLETELY OPTIONAL sponsor, then bring it up on our forums and we'll continue that discussion there.

- This Messenger Plus! vs. MessengerDiscovery lameness has got to end. MessengerDiscovery has been made to work with Messenger Plus!, infact, it is highly recommended that you use both, rather than just one.

Please read the following for more information as well as removal instructions: http://forums.msgdiscovery.com/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=188 and don't troll our forums again, or you will be banned.

Please stop attempting to tarnish the reputation of a great application. You try developing a program full-time without any source of revenue - sooner or later, you'll have to either charge for the program or include a sponsor of some sort. And now that you finally know the facts, you can begin to argue.

For the benefit of the users here, here is a link to the "message" he put on our forums: http://forums.msgdiscovery.com/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=463

Thank you for taking the time to read this, the feelings you show on our forums is mutual.

Regards,
EvilSeph

There was no option.

I cant list them, i delted them allready.

Ad-Aware SE

Im generally calm and dont flame anything, But your program pissed me off. And im not trying to start a Plus vs Discovery thing, so i dont know what your on about.

he's saying in the Installation Notes, you should of read, Not during the Install like Plus does, there should be a Readme.txt file with the download that you should of read

I'm afraid that this is one of those times when I have to back up the fact that ES is most of the time right, and right this time I have a screenshot:

ur a legend trax, , now dont ya feel stupid Scone?.. think Evil deserves an Apology

Yeah scone, after seeing this, I think there should be at least an apology, then again, people don't apologise to patchou, so it would be a bit dodgy to do so... either way, i pwned you...

I doubt the ecko_complex would have put unoptional crap on it anyway... its just dimwitted and would ruin the name of a great piece of software...

lol

to prove a point, i just installed messenger discovery (without sponsor) and scanned my pc with a up2date version of ad-aware and recieved nothing......

how many people flame n00bs on this forum about installing plus without the sponsor?

Microsoft has created a partnership with the company 'giant' and they're making a Microsoft Anti-Spyware program... it is very good, there is a public beta released.

He meant, what Adware program did you use, he just made a typo, no big mistake, are you sure that it didn't start and wasn't hidden, check your processes...

Is Messenger Discovery working for you now? If not, then try uninstalling it, then delete the messenger discovery folder, then reinstall again... and restart... Should be okay then...

Messenger Discovery R0X0R5. It's your own fault for installing the sponsor as you didn't read the installer. You shouldn't blame a program for your own stupid mistake.

Regardless of his mistake, you shouldn't really be flaming at Scone anymore, I'm sure that he understands that he made a mistake and has most likely fixed this mistake by now, so I'm guessing the whole scone discussion is over... but while we're on topic...

Let's not forget how for a short amount of time it did install with the sponsor and there was no choice. He may have had an old installer .

well, msn discovery is a great program, full support!

plus+discovery=PErFect!

We are going to make an announcement soon regarding the sponsor, I think everyone will like it .

Please direct me to this file..I'm not really sure what you mean by installation notes, however I do know what you mean by readme.txt. There is however a screen in the installer that allows you to choose whether or not you wish to install the sponsor

The only announcement regarding the sponsor that everyone would like is one in which you tell us that the sponsor has been removed.

---

lol, so true (what seg said)

I don't really get why you would want a guy to stop programming just because he has an optional sponsor program, think about it, if he stops getting the income from the sponsors installed, then he would have to get a job, which would lead to delayed releases of new versions of messenger discovery and possibly lead to the finalisation of a great piece of software, its not what I want to be honest...

Please don't speculate the details of the announcement before it is made. It just makes it more likely that people will get mad, because a rumour they heard was not confirmed by the announcement.

I hate rumours.

i have had to uninstall and reinstall this messenger discovery thing about 10 times now, and, just by coincidence i am sure (....), i have noticed EVERY TIME, the whatpulse startup entry has disappeared IMMEDATELY after i finished reinstalling discovery.
