Can't find uninstaller by e1nar on 04-07-2005 at 08:26 PM
I updated msn to plus3 and now i want to uninstall it because of the spyware, but I can't find any uninstall file anywhere! not in its directory or in add/remove programms. This is starting to irritate me! How can I remove this garbage???

plus 3?
where did you get the program from? the official site?? did you have any problems with installation?
there is no way (unless you chose that option) to get the optional sponsor program.
EDIT: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=42156 follow the directions here given by traxor to remove the sponsor program

well first of all i want to make it clear that if u downloaded msgplus! from its official site www.msgplus.net then the program with bundled with it is not spyware it is an adware..
well! u can remove the files from startup of the pc.. if they are starting when ur OS loads.....
u can remove it from start if u r runninf win XP by the typing "msconfig" (without quotes) command in in start>run then a panel appears to change the setting.. go to the startup tab then un the file u dont want to load..
i think there is another thread showing the instructions to remove the adware..

If you followed the instructions in the thread Joa gave you and made sure that internet explorer was closed then the sponsor will have been removed.
If you followed those instructions exactly and you still have adware then it likly that it is not the messenger plus sponsor

Click on start > run > and type in the following
code:
"C:\Programfiler\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /Remove
Please note, the spyware that you are refering to is Optional which means that you can choose not to install it. During the install process you do not need to remove Messenger Plus! to uninstall the Sponsor program. By running the uninstaller it will ask to uninstall the sponsor or both the Sponsor and Plus!. I suggest giving Plus! another shot without the sponsor but its your choice.
Edit: Blah Patchou changed the commandline for the uninstaller lmao!

couldn't uninstall. should I try just install over it without the sponsor agreement? or would this f*** it all upp?
RE: Can't find uninstaller by matty on 04-07-2005 at 09:11 PM
Install with the sponsor. Then uninstall completly. The try and reinstall if you would like to without the sponsor.
RE: Can't find uninstaller by e1nar on 04-07-2005 at 09:12 PM

If you are on an administrator account, you should be able to find "Messenger Plus! 3" in the Add/Remove Programs section, else, it adds shortcuts in the Start Menu.
Messenger Plus! 3.50 allows you to uninstall only the sponsor program, so installing with the sponsor program and then removing it (which will hopefully work fine then after reinstalling all sponsor files and this way also replacing possibly corrupt ones) would work fine.
