quote:
so almost no software promises not to damage ur pc in the EULA!!!

That part of the EULA protects the developer/company from potential harm done to a customer's computer or data by use of the software. The part of the EULA we were discussing before deals with something completely different. The part of the EULA we are discussing is not about protecting the developer/company. The part we are disscussing is about giving the right to a developer/company to basically install anything they want onto your machine without any further consent from you.

I don't mind Microsoft telling me that they cant be held responsible if my business goes bankruppt because Windows blew up and i lost all my data.
But I do mind if an EULA wants to give the company the right to download and install anything on my computer in the future without restrictions.
Patchou says all EULA's are written to give this right, but this is wrong. In fact i can't think of any reputable and legitimate software that has language granting such rights in their EULA. I'm still waiting for someone to prove me wrong.
By bundling adware that contains such language i feel it is well deserved for Messenger Plus to be categorized the way it is. I would be surprised if anyone at Microsoft would make a change to the way this adware in Messenger Plus is handled. Maybe however they can explain it to Patchou in a better way than those of us who have complaining about it in the past. That would be a huge step forward.
