heheheh. actually.....

I don't remember getting any spyware, like that other guy did, but I got kind of annoyed when it put a whole bunch of crap on my desktop, gave me a annoying IE toolbar that would never go away, and little popups that kept saying, "do you want to play games and win money?!" or something like that. I'm sorry if i'm offending you.

Messenger Plus has never installed anything like that on my computer before. It's those porn sites you visit every night which give you spyware and adware. You can't just blame Messenger Plus for all the spyware you get from other stuff.

And I don't get spyware from those sites either, (thank gosh!) cuz I don't visit those sites.

But I think my favorite thing about messenger plus is that you can change your name and give lots of other commands just in the chat window. But I got a new computer recently, it doesn't have message plus! on it yet, and I forget that. i'll type something like, "/name Awesomesauce" and it'll just show up in the messege window and my friends wonder what the crap i'm trying to do.

Actually, your rotten SOB... these are features of the sponser program. As I said, these are only included with Plus if you accepted to install them. Awsome... thank you for the appoligy.

I thought everybody learned from what happened to ICQ.

Let me correct myself: Messenger plus! is just a downloadable patch for MSN messenger. You don't [u]HAVE[/b] to have it.

[Faizan]

But.. what do you mean by "everybody learned from what happened to ICQ"? What happened to it??

[AwesomeSauce]

Lots of people began to dislike ICQ cuz it had so many freakin' features and took up a lot of memory. But now, there's ICQ Lite.

actually there, plus only has features that people want/request. because this is the case, who are they to bitch about the heavy size?

[IMQueen]

Does this new version of Plus still allow you to decline the sponsor, or is it included automatically now?
