RE: MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
You need to follow the instructions given by Patchou in this thread:
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598
(and follow the instructions exactly! If it states "close every window of your browser", then you need to close every window of your browser!)

But that is only if you didn't tried to remove it yourself with anti-adware tools, because those will corrupt the uninstaller. So if you did that, you need first to install Plus! again WITH the sponsor to FIX the uninstaller and then follow Patchou's instructions...

maybe the options for the sponsor should be this:
install without sponsor
install with sponsor

instead of putting yes and no at the beginning of each choice, since people never read the choices, only the yes and no part ;)

anyway, you should do as said above, install with the sponsor then remove it the right way to make sure you get rid of it completely

Every considered you may have got the spyware/adware from another source.

It's funny everytime someone relatively new to the boards has a spyware/adware problem it falls into these categories:
1-Didn't read the agreement
2-Blame it on plus when it's from another source
3-Didn't read the agreement

At least the Swedish version has like that:
YES - Install the sponsor program
NO - Do not install the sponsor program

you SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE that!!.
please read this post and the next ones (spacially the ones of Patchou). About the sponsor screen, you should translate it WITHOUT changing it meaning in any way. this has aslo been said in the translations guidelines of patchou.
I know this is offtopic, but as Patchou has said many times, those texts should have the exact same meaning, so i think i have to post this

Well, in my case, the parasites files are in Program Files, so remove their folders : GRID* and README~1 located on Program Files, and, Search in your registry about Readme~1 and delete all.
Do same by searching Amenface.dll.

2) Use HijackThis, scan your IE, locate the shit and see if anyfile is present or not, if its not, just kill the line, if it is yes locate the file and delete it.

Its easy, it takes no time, i will not play with Uninstaller program for pleasure of Patchou.
I'm the rebelle of data lol

PegHorse, your method will leave traces and is a very bad way of doing things. If you like it that way, then that's fine with us, but don't suggest such things to other people...
