O.P. Adware
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.

RE: Adware
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...
