That's weird.... I guess Patchou should contact them.

And they should correct Plus... it's Plus! :tongue:
The download file is correct, so who added it to Download.com?

And the first reviewer slams it because they confuse 'sponsor' with 'spyware'.
I replied, as well as writing my own review: is what I wrote OK?

RE: Plus! back on Download.com
I have added my own review now that noob at the begging made me mad :@

These are his reviews:

Patchou is a director of a company which distributes spyware.

It seems that Patchou is now one of the directors of Secure Software Inc, one of many business names used by the owners of Lop.com. C2 Media, which is the spyware bundled with Patchou's Plus program, is another one of Lop.com's business names, so it seems that Patchou's greed has clouded his vision and led him along the path of invasion of privacy. It's not hard to find any of this information, so it will only be a matter of time before he loses the respect and trust of the many 'loyal' followers, who he asked on his forums to post positive ratings.

Why allow this to return?
Cons: What happened to the new "zero-tolerance adware policy" on download.com? this software was removed from download.com because it is riddled with hard-to-remove spyware, yet it sneakily returns, just as the spyware contained in this software does to innocent, unsuspecting users.

Wait...

imho, I smell something fishy here.

Of course, I'm glad it's back on download.com, but I'm afraid it would be dangerous for the sake of Messenger Plus!.

As you notice, the name lacks of the exclamation point and the correct publisher's name.
Don't you think about other computer users who hate Plus! ?
They will think that Patchou is sneaky, and they will say something bad about Messenger Plus!.

I'd say it would not be good for Plus!'s future.
