O.P. RE: Devilin and the uninstall page
Thanks for your replies everybody:D

The page itself is open to correction, revision etc. and you've all been extremely helpful, I'll updated it later tonight, I have some stuff to do

Ddunk,8-|, Thank's

Yes it does, I haven't checked it against other anti virus programs, but the chances are, red flags will be raised, as a lot of anti virus software, uses variations upon the same engine

traxor quote:lots of programs use the security box for uninstallation, so I don't know what you're on about to be honest.

Could you please name lots?  Specifically,;)

Hi Devilin,

I agree that the tone of the page is maybea litle pushed sometimes, but you would understand better if you had seen someof the comments I've had in the past year. You can have your opinion, I respect that and as you can see, we're having a discussion here. However, this is not often the case and that's also why I created this page. Not because sites like yours but because others :).

I would just like to add a note about uninstalling. It is true that ninstallign is always deletingfielsand reg keys, however, any "advanced" program will encounter problems if you try to delete some stuff manually (I'm thinking of Office for example). I would see no problem whatsoever if Adaware (to name one) did its job properly and removed everything. However, I do see a problem if it removes half of the files, leaves the toolbar and prevents the userfrom removingit the normal way. The problem is that they don't care as in the end end, it's always the fault of the evil-adware/spyware program and never theirs. The boxthat asks for a code is unusual, however, it doesn't prevent anyone from removingthe software (again, I must insist, nobody ever complained because if they had, I would have asked for this box to be removed).

I just hope you understand my position at least partially. In the end, you have to admit that uninstalling my software and its sponsor is extremely easy, tens of thousands of people do it every day, without breaking a sweat. You have to realise that it's pretty unusualtoo to post an article sayign how to unisntall a software when it's in Add/Remove Programs ;).

PS: as far as I know, no antivirus/antispyware detects Plus! as a trojan (why would they?). Some detects the installer of C2Media though, maybe you should rephrase this sentenceof your article.


Hi Patchou
Yes, I can see this from your point of view, and I can appreciate how frustrating this must be, especially over a period of time, and I can appreciate how you have become, slightly dogmatically, in your approach, due to the circumstances,

But there is another point of view, the mother whose child has downloaded messenger plus onto their computer without the mother realizing it, Half deleted it with a weekly anti Spyware, scan, and then the nightmare begins, I've tested the program itself in a variety of ways, letting different anti Spyware programs take bites out it, in one scenario I ended up formatting, because of the instability problems, understandably this would make some people angry and frustrate, with you as a obvious target, I hope you also understand this position,

I'll need to go now, I'll return and see about doing some updates
