Would you prefer paying for Messenger Plus! or do you want spyware like other programmers sneakily put into their socalled freeware?
It's
adware and there's nothing sneaky inside it..it's
optional (and nobody can overlook or accidently install the sponsor, providing they read, nothing is checked by default unlike in other programs)..what more can you ask for?
So unless you prefer the above mentioned, this is the only way.
There is
NO malware or spyware in Plus!
Malware definition:
"Malware" is short for
'malicious software' and is usually used as a catch-all term to refer to any software which causes damage to a single computer, server, or computer network.
“Malicious software”; a generic term covering a range of software programs and types of programs designed to attack, degrade or prevent the intended use of an ICT or network. Types of malware can include viruses, worms, Trojans, malicious active content and denial of service attacks. In the case of invasion of privacy for the purposes of fraud or the theft of identity, software that passively observes the use of a computer is also malware (“spyware”).
Spyware definition:
Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection
without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are
typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. ...
Adware definition:
Typically, adware components install alongside a shareware or freeware application. These advertisements create revenue for the software developer and
are provided with initial consent from the user. Adware displays Web-based advertisements through pop-up windows or through an advertising banner that appears within a program's interface.
