I'm not sure I understand why you don't remove the checkmark to install the sponsor by default. If people support the Plus, and they don't mind having their OS hijacked by one of the most offensive programs out there, they could always put the checkmark themselves and install it. (From what I understand, a lot of users who support Plus won't even attempt this!)

Did you ever take a second to think that Patchou may need money just to give you the software.  He is PAYING for the FREE SOFTWARE you get, and your being ungreatful to him for that.  Now the software DOES NOT HiJack your computer.  Also, If you have problems with it, why dont you just pick up the entire bill for Plus!, Rather then patchou paying to give it to someone like you.

From what I have seen so far, the sponsor program is something that is OFFENSIVE. If I included a default option to "Format C: drive" in my install but explained what would happen if the user did not unselect it, I think I would have to take some sort of responsibility for any formatted HDs.

---

Why would patchou want to format your C:\ drive.  Why Would ANY Software want to?  The only software that could benifit from formatting your Drive would be Operating Systems (Windows, Linux, etc.)

At first glance, your sponsor install screen looks like a regular agreement. Who here has never clicked NEXT NEXT NEXT FINISH to install a software without reading the license agreement?

---

Well...As it says, Its your fault if you accept the agreement and pass, You are 100% liable.  And most people Skim through agreements, taking chances that it may do something that they may miss, thats those users faults though.

I'm glad these users are voicing their discontent with the sponsor program, and the way it was implemented. It prevents users like me from being tricked to install something I don't want by taking advantage of the users' trust. Wasn't Kazaa guilty of this last year?

---

The users that are voicing there discontent are the stupid users who dont understand, UNCHECKING THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT INSTALL THE SPONSOR.  I have a personal word from patchou, he said he must've checked it a dozen times, And if you cant trust patchou then how can you trust Plus!.  The difference with KaZaA and Plus! is that KaZaA included Spyware Packages, Plus! includes ADWARE.

In Closing:If your here to complain about the sponsor, you might as well just Shut up and go away.  Its optional!!!!
