Adware, spyware, malware, sponsorware, crapware... whatever you want to call it, is a problem.
regardless of MsgPlus also being a religion, Patchou being your God, whatever ridiculous thing you've come up with today, it doesn't change the fact Messenger Plus! has the possibility to install it. You cannot expect 12 your noob to read 10 pages of jargon and make an imformed decision.
arguing that it is optional is paddling upstream and only makes you look more stupid. its a good thing Messenger Plus! is as good as it is, it makes up for the damage the sponsor can do to its reputation. You need to look outside this community, and see what's going on the real world.
are you from ms anti spyware?
you do make a good point but at the end of the day it is a false dectention you should say it's adware and optional
