RE: MSG Plus! With Spyware - Without Toolbar!!
Note to other people who would read this thread: this is the exact proof of what I was saying yesterday in another thread: people don't make the difference between "adware bundler" and "spyware" nor they want to read the description of something their anti-spyware software found. The only thing that pops in their mind is: "I'm infected!". That's exactly why software such as Giant should not do what they are already doing.

I agree patchou, people need to broaden their mind and listen to other people rather than thinking of themselves so much :-/.

Messenger Plus! does not add a "couple of smileys" to Messenger, you must be mistaken with Smiley Central. As for Plus!, you have the choice of installing the sponsor or not during installation.

instead of trying to explain to these ignorent people the difference between optional adaware and spyware, i say just ban them and save ourselves from headaches.

why cant people understand its optional?!?!?! threads like this  get annoying when its ppl finkin that acceptin the OPTIONAL adaware is a license agreement. jus read the hole thread.....where are these pics showing adaware and other spyware scanners. they havent sed nefin bout my msgplus so far.

seems as if LaRonde20 is stating b.s. bout msgplus but not liking the replies from the people on the forum who know what they are actually talking about?!

When the user will not listen to anyone and only believes what he thinks is the truth it is NOT worth explaining what has already been given to him. If he will not read/experiment then there is no point.
The previous sentence is false. The following sentence is true.
