Yesterday, I just downloaded Messenger Plus! 3 and the adwares came back. One of the adwares is ads1.revenue.net and another one is mysearchnow.com. It's really causing my computer to lag. Now I have to find them and delete them. Please remove those two items when you put a new Msg PLus for downloading. It's really ANNOYING! RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Causing Adware by Fraisie on 11-06-2004 at 01:09 AM It looks as though you have installed the optional sponsor program. It is really easy to remove by following the instructions in the link here : http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598 RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Causing Adware by linkinparkstarz on 11-06-2004 at 05:27 AM Thanks for the info RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Causing Adware by laric01 on 11-06-2004 at 08:01 AM ya I tried this and got an error message on the uninstall and now plus 3 uninstall isnt in my add and remove list... and I havent ran my adware remover since the plus!3 install RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Causing Adware by .Roy on 11-06-2004 at 08:34 AM
install msg plus again WITH the sponsor.. Then all the files will be overwritten and you can uninstall .. Just remember not to run adaware before you uninstall.. It will cause problems AGAIN.. RE: Messenger Plus! 3 Causing Adware by Anubis on 11-06-2004 at 08:50 AM

If Messenger Plus! doesn't appear in your Add/Remove panel, it's probably because you didn't have admin rights when you installed it. In that case, it created a shortcut in your Start menu to uninstall the software. |
