Adware by tanzi on 07-24-2009 at 02:33 PM

Since downloading plus i have had adware on my pc.

I have followed your instructions to get rid of it, even uninstalling with anti virus turned off. Then re installing after restarting pc, i still have adware could this be related to something else, i have done scans for malware and there not picking up anything suspicious, i have even got help from malware forum with no success.  These are adverts ranging from bingo, golf, insurance, curser attatchments, to dating agencies.

Any advice appreciated.

The latest Plus! sponsor simply changes your browser homepage to a custom Plus! search engine page provided by Ask.com. The adverts you are describing are likely linked to something else.

Which can be seen here: http://www.plusnetwork.com/

Thank you Matty for explaining, it is obviously something else invading me with random adverts, it's proving very hard to detect. 

With thanks  tanzi...
