RE: How do I prevent Plus! Network from changing my search engine in FireFox?
There are no ifs or buts. When the checkbox is ticked, the sponsor gets installed. If it installs the sponsor for one user, it installs it for all users. I have chosen not to install it, I do not have it on my computer. I find it quite rude of users to come and complain, even so much as to tell me I'm wrong about something I have been involved with for a number of years. If you could provide some information  about where you downloaded the setup file from, the version number etc, we may have been able to help you.

As it is, you say the makers should be ashamed of themselves for something you suspect them of doing although with out some sort of installer log, or packet sniffer to log a download of the sponsor software, it can not be proved.

I am not saying I don't believe the sponsor is installed (there are a few threads about this), but every thread I've seen here relating to this is because the user did in fact select the option (whether they were confused or didn't pay attention during setup).

My advice is to check the Add/Remove programs list. Off the top of my head, I can't remember if the sponsor shows up as it's own entry now, or whether you can do it from Messenger Plus' entry. If you can't find a way to do it, uninstall Messenger Plus and the sponsor and then re-install with the sponsor disabled.
