Okay, so last night a friend told me about MsgPlus, and I decided to try it out.
I hurried through installation since it was late at night, and I think I might have installed the sponsor, too.

I ran Ad-Aware, AVG anti virus, etc. and they didn't pick up anything, so NO, I didn't unistall anything via those programs (except for a few cookies, but I always get those).

I then read more, and read about uninstalling it via Add/Remove programs. Sure enough, it said Sponsor as well. The thing is, my Ad-aware and AVG didn't even detect it, nor have I had pop-ups, and Internet Explorer doesn't have some new toolbar on it like you're supposed to get (you do get one, right?). So I went to uninstall the sponsor, but it said it couldn't complete un-installation, so I went ahead and just removed MsgPlus instead.

How do I know if I have this adware on my computer or not? Is there a way to search it?

I don't really want to have to re-install that crap onto my computer again...or is that the only way? I'm not even sure that it's on here, besides the fact that I saw it listed on add/remove programs.

Please help. This is driving me nuts, because this is a new computer, and I really, really, really do not want any programs on here that I don't want, IE. trojans and adware.
