Huh? Whatever you mean, The Plus! installer is an adware bundler indeed and no one is questioning that.
Plus, the problem is not Plus being catalogued as an adware bundler. You should read the petition carefully because it explains it well, but I'll summarize it anyway: MSAS detects the Msgplus.exe executable as an important risk every time you boot your computer, and if you tell it to remove it MSAS leaves you WITH the adware and without any way to remove it (it just deletes Plus without removing the actual problem). Let alone that it detects Plus even when there is absolutely no adware in the computer because the user chose not to install the sponsor.
