Messenger Plus 3 for MSN Messenger

Posted on Wednesday, January 11, 2006 at 10:34 PM by Randall

While I don't use Instant Messengers much (as I can't get anything done when I have one on as far too many people want to talk to me), I wouldn't use MSN Messenger without the free Messenger Plus addon from Patchou. It adds so many useful (and just nice) features to MSN Messenger that I can't list them all here. Fortunately, the Messenger Plus web site has a page listing them all. Features include personalized staus, conversation logging, custom names for contacts, maximum message length of 1100 characers instead of 400 and much more. Plugins add even more features.

A word of Warning: The installation program gives you the option to install sponsor adware on your machine to help Patchou fund the project. This is optional, and the adware will not install if you say no. If you install the sponsor adware by mistake, you can uninstall it by selecting Messenger Plus from Add/Remove Programs, this will give you the option to either uninstall both the adware and Messenger Plus or just the adware. See the FAQ questions on this subject on the Messenger Plus site for more info.
