RE: scrub this
I have to say, I too am glad that microsoft's anti-spyware software detects msgplus, But without looking at it, it seems as if it would do it regardless of if the sponsor program is installed or not. Thats where it is just wreckless, By that same token I could create a anti-spyware software that reports windows as a peice of spyware for having the activation required. It's just wreckless that microsoft would make such a generalization about msgplus and the optional adware bundle.

The adware bundle provides Patchou with the income and resources to continue developing this fine peice of software, He's not greedy with what it brings in and he doesnt make any efforts to force people to use the associated ad-ware. Patchou has gone as far as to include multiple warnings in the installer and tried to make it as clear as possible to the end user that it is there, Why is this a bad thing? To keep developing a peice of software of this magnitude, it takes money. Money that C2Media provides to pay for servers, bandwidth, and to help patchou continue developing. Why cant people understand that? How about microsoft starts bundling the same adware with microsoft office? Help pay for the costs of piracy? Would that knock some sense into you?

Sorry for the rambling, I'm at work and go back and fourth between support requests and this forum so it gets a little fragmented.
