Is that not against the Data Protection act, I think that may have been brought up earlier on in the thread. But by doing so, you're surely breaking some federal laws. This program is full of things that it says it does which I doubt it really does. It's just a waste of time and won't do your computer any good at all. You're just going to be ruining peoples computers, nothing more, nothing less. The victims that download it are naive, and I feel sorry for them.

It is, as it is not described HOW and WHY the information is collected make sit illegal. The Main Points are below:

Personal data must be processed fairly and lawfully + at least one of the processing conditions is met,

Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.

Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed.

I unfourtunately installed this program, but if you say that it is dangerous [and you do] and if I believe you [which I do] I will uninstall this software. I give noone the right to use my computer as a book.

That's my 2 cents

My advise to anyone is not to install, and if you have to uninstall and run Ad-Aware & Spybot just to be sure. But this is what I have been saying from that start, its an advertising scam, and remains very similar in its structure to SimleyCentral.

RE: New add-on for MSN Messenger
I installed your program yesterday, and I didn't find anything wrong with it at all. In fact I was rather impressed, I think there's a lot of potential.

However, you're marketing it all wrong, and indeed you do sound like smiley central - I don't have to state that many people have bad experiences after installing it, and it is only logical that anything that sounds remotely good is now treated suspiciously.

I'm a fan of MsgPlus, I've been using it for years. I don't remember how I first came upon it but I know most of my contacts now use it simply because I recommended it to them. I don't think I've noticed a single ad yet it's a well known piece of software.
If your program is really good, people will pass it on by word of mouth (or messenger). You won't need to worry about promoting it.

I do agree with that, i installed it and didnt detect any software, however as you did contradict yourself a few times it has put me off the software until a later date. Dont give up though (Y) :)

I'm still staying away from it until a few more say its good ;), and also from the point I will be the only person on my contact list with it, it's even hard to find someone with MSNPlus with the people I talk to, the fact most of them are on linux may be a reason. ;)
