i installed an msn winks program called MSN CONTENT PLUS, but it was shareware and i didnt buy it. so after the trial period, i uninstalled it, but every time i start my computer, a dialogue box comes up asking me to register, even after i have uninstalled the program, and even deleted the empty folder.
how do i get rid of the program?

have you looked in the C: folder, see if it its still there...

I googled it quickly nothing came up...

get a registry cleaner. most likely you got some registry keys left in your registry

MSN Winks Plus DANGER

Apparently their uninstaller is faulty, someone in that thread suggested to just end the process (msncontentplus.exe) through taskmanager on advice of MSN Content Plus. If you can find that file anywhere on your computer i'd say delete it (after you ended the process ofcourse).

wow, that worked. thanks guys, and thanks alot cookie

I think I fixed my problem too, just have to wait and see, knowing my luck I've probably deleted all the bits of messenger that I need to run it lol!

i remember having this problem. one day i caught a new diolog with a new name. searched c:\ for the name and then deleated it. whoohoo keep looking. i think it was some dll

hi , i have tried all the solutions up above and i cannot seem to get rid of it, i know what files they are, msnlogm.exe, msnlogs.exe and everytime i end process on task manager they automatically return (msn is turned off) and even in Registry Editor it does the same, i delete it and it comes back. please help!!

search for the 2 files and deleate them

already said that, i found them in C://Windows Folder, tried deleting them but they reappear again

cloudyjai instead of end process end process tree. That'll do the trick for you .

I also could not stop the processes msnlogs.exe & msnlogm.exe.
I think that one process checks if the other process is still running and if not it starts it again. For that reason it is impossible to delete both processes.
I found a method to delete the processes nevertheless:

Copy the following batch file "delmsnlog.bat" to c:\
@echo off
:again
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe del %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe del %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe goto again
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe goto again
@echo msnlogs.exe and msnlogm.exe deleted.
@pause

Goto "Start" then "run" and type "c:\delmsnlog.bat" followed by ENTER.

While the batch file is running, you can stop the processes. You need several attempts, because the process is stopped for a very short time only and exactly in this moment delete batch should delete the file. I needed about 10 attempts for the first process.

Sorry but I did this, and it  DID NOT work.  The files would not delete and kept on popping up again.  I'm a computer novice with puter-phobia.  Please tell me how to get rid of this trial expiry activation thing, that is closing down my Messenger and spoiling my puter enjoyment.  Checked out the post below, no good to me as it was way over my head.  Is there a lay-man step by step guide to get shot of this ????

[b] ok guys to those who wanted to remove that anoying msg,,
here's another and guranteed way ...

you have to start your computer in the safe mode first and that's by clicking on the F2 or F8 when starting the pc ...
and choose the safe mode method.

nw in the safe mode you can enter to C:\Windows and find the msApps and msAppm and remove them easily ...

now restart ur pc and Volalaaaaa,,,, no more anoying grey box
i hope it works guys... and tell me if it does .

Yup Worked 100%... follow the above directions and you won't see that MSN CONTENT PLUS popup again

Thank you very much. No things like making own batch files; just safe mode. And the funniest thing is:

Someone with only one post, which doesn't use capitals or reading marks on a good way, forgot the end [b]-tag can tell us a very simple way how to get rid of that stupid thing. And it works better then someone who have programmed a batch file.

The only thing I can say is:

OWNAGE

But thank you so much, finally I can enjoy computing again. (I could do it also yesterday, only not today, ahhh this gets too complicated... Never mind )

that batch file you're talking about is made by a same "1 time poster".
Also, if you read up some more (and look in some other threads about this), you'd see that solid solutions were given a long looong time ago (and solutions which completely remove everything, as even "deleting 2 files" will certainly not remove all traces of it).

I don't see any "ownage" at all in this...

i cant believe they did this to the poor user. i wonder what other backdoors have been installed into the PC. this is bad. im going to give very very bad review to this piece of crap.

Safe mode is the way to go

Thank

to end the process of msnlogs or msnlogm file u all should use process explorer which u can easily download from

http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/ProcessExplorer.zip

after downloading ""Process Explorer "" run and find the process with name "" msnlogs or msnlogm "" then right click on it and end it u don't need to do this again and again


Copy the following batch file "delmsnlog.bat" to c:\

@echo off
:again
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe del %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe del %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogm.exe goto again
if exist %WINDIR%\msnlogs.exe goto again
@echo msnlogs.exe and msnlogm.exe deleted.
@pause[/b]

to make this if u need to open notepad then paste code which is given below then save it but in file name box u should type file name like this *delmsnlog.bat* mean and to put starik on start and end of file name then click save

it done know
Goto "Start" then "run" and type "c:\delmsnlog.bat" followed by ENTER.

use this code writen by Klaus
