I personally don't mind the sponsor program. But am talking from experince when i say it is cutting th potential user base of MsgPlus!.

I have recommended MsgPlus to many people. However, they have slowly stopped using it after they found out "it contained spyware". Even the computers on which i installed it (WITHOUT sponsor program), they ended up deleting because of some sort of program saying it was spyware/adware.

I have a feeling that when Microsoft take MS AntiSpyware out of Beta that it will affect the MsgPlus! user base even further. My reasoning is that, currently it identifies MsgPlus! as a spyware even if the sponsor program wasn't selected. It seems that any traces of MsgPlus! it finds it says that spyware has been installed. Can't Microsoft be contacted to notify them so that they can modify AntiSpyware so that only identifies the actual C2 Media/Lop.com registry entires as spyware/adware and not the MsgPlus! registry entries. From what i have heard Microsoft plans to make AntiSpyware available free of charge, so i expect many people to start using it as it is free and has real time protection. This is why i think it going out of Beta would affect MessengerPlus!

One suggestion i could make is for Patchou to add flashing test to the Sponsor program agreement secion of the installer notifying the user to read about the OPTIONAL sponsor program. This way Patchou can keep the sponsor program and at the same time help users clearly know about the sponsor program.
