Palfun also must be used with extra care and caution just like aim-plus. It still hosted and funded by spawnet.com a known spyware affailate. This is evidenced in the whois report for the domain palfun.com
Pal Fun is clearly associated with Spyware. Whatever happened to Alex the last spokesman for aim-plus / palfun. Instead he seems to have hired someone from Eastern Europe to take over the illegal wheeling and dealing.
As with any thing associated with spyware it would not be a good idea to use them with progs that are used for personal convo this is common sense.
lol Anyone notice since aim-plus became known as pal-fun it all of a sudden moved from one fake address in London accross the atlantic to another fake address in the USA. Baslik clearly is not from the USA, there are all sorts of lies and scams going on.

(info from whois report)If you check the whois info for the domains AIM-plus.com and Palfun.com, they hold yet another dark truth. They are hosted by and funded by SPAWNET.COM. Spawnet.com is a well known spyware affiliate and an illegal software distributor. It is known to be affiliated to LOP.com (a known spy-ware firm), C2media (yet another spyware firm). This means potentially anything, while it may or may not contain spyware, palfun could be a means of capturing email-addresses, this is within the terms and conditions for palfun.
Yes there should be no doubt about the risks with aim-plus
Never go off the design of the sites to determine the reliabiliy of a firm. This is not a good determinate.Besides even the site contained ‘lies’ e.g the new prog being Version 6, and it being copyrighted in 1999.
Jeff it may have sounded stupid but was posted not because of guess work but since evidence existed to suggest it. Besides rumours should sometimes be considered a fact until proved otherwise by aim-plus.com
Evidence of a proposed lop.com-aimutation was found at the link below. Notice the date ( 7/16/03) i guess lop had to wait until the source-code was made public! Before they could tap into the aim addon market.
http://jier.modblog.com/?show=blogview&blog_id=10395Also notice that Alex @ Lop.com was the guy to purpose the deal, he is also known to be the guy running aim-plus.com as shown by a collection of his emails on aimutation forums. How in 6 months does someone go from needing the expertise of aimutation to being able to provide a similar product himself?
And Finally I cant seen any reason for aim-plus’s website to be down, since their nameserver spawnet.com is still up and running. It must of been taken down at their own wish.
When using any add-on messenger program stick to the tried and tested progs. Since any fraudster could make a new prog with a password stealer built into it!!!
on aimutation forums someone posted a lot of info about them:
Quote:quote:Aim-plus have been around since 1999. Back then they were known asAIM-PLUS SYSTEMS PTE LTD
they had nothing to do with aim progs but
“provides Information Technology consultancy and education services, Software application development, customization and implementation, Internet, Intranet and Extranet, and IT projects outsourcing/subcontracting”.
There old contact info was
AIM-PLUS SYSTEMS PTE LTD

Tel: (65) 8626908 Fax: (65)8626890E-mail: aim-plus@aim-plus.com
Sales Contact : James UngThis firm closed down, and the domain has now been acquired by lop.com who are eager to get there revenge against aimutation!!!!!!
[Aim-plus may contain spyware/ hackware / aim password stealers]
Anyone whos download aim-plus ought to change their aim password!!!!!!!!!!
As i have posted earlier do not download aim-plus it is associated with various illegal activities and the program itself could contain all sorts of hacks and aim password stealers.
Aim-plus have mysteriously decided to change their address for their domain to France as investigators dawn in on them.
Aim Plus

FRThe important clue to aim-plus’s illegal background is that whois info on the domain reveals the Nameserver for the domain aim-plus is spawnet.com.
Spawnet.com is a well known spyware affiliate and an illegal software distributor. It is known to be affiliated to LOP.com (a known spy-ware firm), C2media (yet another spyware firm) for more also proof check out:
alex.spawnet.com/~mp3sound/
[Notice the spawnet.com] This is proof of their illegal status.
LOP has in the past approached aimutation to accept a deal in which they would pay 0.6 pay 545 Studios Ptl Ltd to offer a free version of AIMutation with a bundled version the C2 Media spyware known as Lop.com.
This was rejected at the time and have now come back to haunt aimutation. See the news from the time below:
“Lop.com ( google: lop.com ) in the last few days attempted to pay 545 Studios Ptl Ltd. 0.6 cents per user to offer a free version of AIMutation with a bundled version the C2 Media spyware known as Lop.com.
After careful consideration we chose to REJECT the offer set forth my lop.com (namely: Alex at lop.com ) They claimed to own over 50 software distribution websites as well as the rights to the software known as Messenger Plus. ( msgplus.net )
We rejected the offer after trying to aquire a list of websites that distribute software for the lop.com spyware. but was denied such a list.
AIMutation will continue to sell for $2.95 SPYWARE FREE.”
Note aim-plus does contains spyware.
As i said in my original post aim-plus is associated with illegal activites thats why it has not been see on cnet or elswhere and the site has removed by the host.
Of course you will find refenerces to the well established aim+ but these are not the same programs
