O.P. sponsor program issue (not another pathetic complaint)
How many popups/ads/etc does the sponsor actually show? I want to install the sponsor to support Patchou, but I don't want my computer overrun. Has anyone installed the sponsor and have you seen how many ads it shows?

It will only show popups once in a while when you are using Internet Explorer, as long as you don't load any page with IE, it wont load any ad either. When you are browsing with IE the interval isn't bad.

You can give it a try, if you get tired of it you can always remove the sponsor only in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Messenger Plus! Live + Sponsor.
Finish the problem

But note that the sponsor will only gain revenu if you actually click the ads. In other words, installing the sponsor and then using your FireFox browser so you don't see any ads, doesn't help supporting Patchou though.

In that case you're better of buying some stuff from the Online Store.

;)

But doesn't Patchou just send the profits from the store to the Red Cross?
SoundPacks   -   Scripts   -   Skins

He even doubles the profits...

The support is given in the form of advertising: you wear Plus! logo in public...

I thought Patchou was paid per install by C2 Media, not by the clicks that he generates. This is the way it is with most adware affiliate programs.

The sponsor of Plus! doesn't belong to 'the most adware affiliate programs' :p
