RE: Nice Software - But Why Spyware ?
Hi,

vb_packets... i'd just like to say that from my experience and knowledge, it is IMPOSSIBLE for your computer to be infected by SpyWare from Messenger Plus! if you REFUSE to support messenger plus and not install the sponsor.

The ONLY other way that you could have installed spyware/adware along with Messenger Plus!, even when refusing to support and not install sponsor... is if you have download Messenger Plus! from an unofficial location and that version of Plus! has been edited to install spyware/adware.



If the reason why you are getting spyware/adware along with Plus!, is because some third party user( s ) have edited Plus! to install spyware/adware no matter the input, then i have sympathy for you and for any other user who has experienced the same situation.

My question to those sad, pathetic user ( s ) is why? yes, maybe the answer to that is quick money. But why not earn well deserved money by creating your own piece of software which will be respected by hundreds if not thousands of users, just like Patchou. Patchou has spent thousands of hard-working hours into Messenger Plus! and a darn good job of it he has made, but low-lives like you are making those programs created by dedicated developers look worse than they deserve to be. Get a life!


Anyway's, sorry.. i'll stop yapping on :P



Kind Regards,
XM4ST3RX


p.s. if any of this did not make any sense, im sorry :P. Another typical friday night :P (B)(B)(B)

I think someone misunderstood something. :s Edit: or maybe that was just me.

But well, if we're going to turn into little kids, then forget it. 8-)

:s Who got you that idea?

Each person here has their own opinions on these forums, but I've seen everyone give you all the info to help you out with your problem. I don't know if you did as we told you, that part is up to you. (Y)

RE: Nice Software - But Why Spyware ?
Not to sound rude or anything but I've seen alot of this lately...it doesn't matter what anybody says they'll just assume what they want to and ignore the facts :@---Patchou is a great guy--I've had his software since it's been first introduced :)

I think I should post the same one I did earlier about Microsoft's Anti Spyware, It'll make more sense....If I hadn't deleted the post, this person would've read it, probably wouldn't have even posted this....PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN that's the problem. And it's probably been repeated several thousand time on this post alone, and on the mess.be forum as well.

It's just click---click---click...and bam! they accidentally install the sponsor software and then complain about it.

and 1 other thing....IF YOU USE MICROSOFT'S ANTISPYWARE, it will detect Plus as a Spyware Bundler it doesn't mean that it installed the sponsor software if you REFUSED to install it.....to some of you who saw my post earlier before I deleted it, Anti-Spyware programs will detect 87 processes even though you didn't install the sponsor programs, I've got it installed and there hasn't been any troubles since then.

Finaly some one explains the microsoft spyware crap, just install a new spyware scanner and I'll bet that msgplus will not be found as spyware with anyother program.
