[...]Like I and others have already said before in two or three posts in this thread: you _first_ need to _completely_ uninstall the sponsor/searchbar/browser companion!!
It is of no use to change any browser settings manual as long as you did not uninstalled the complete sponsor.
In my very first post:

Likewise if it was a problem of not having removed the companion program, I did too after posting on this thread and being told about it, with the same result. Stuff reverted back.
Please don't assume no one reads and tries possible solutions before complaining. I did, and it reverted back. It is obvious there is something wrong that sets on your pc as if it was malware, perhaps with only one flavour of the build that I do not know. But there's enough people complaining to not brush it off with 'you didn't read' after you having not read my very first post.
And yes, the installation and uninstall cold be far more clearer. Even if I wanted to have it (which I don't) why does the bar also install the browser companion? Without notice? And what's more, why does it have a separate uninstall that I wasn't let know off in the first place? It's almost like whoever made this clearly didn't want people to remove their software easily.
I can't be more specific as to which build I've used since I did not download manually but withing Messenger Plus itself, and in my attempts to get rid of the bar I uninstalled completely anything Messenger Plus related. I could try again, but at the moment I can live without Messenger Plus I don't want to risk getting the bar again.
At any rate, I was finally able to change the chrome settings for good, I had to use Revo uninstaller to 100% remove all traces of the bar (there was a ton of stuff left in the computer after the normal windows uninstall), and after that everything seems to be fine again.
I'm no computer tech so I can't give more details, but all I said is true and is my (horrible) experience with this bar; please don't be so quick to discredit users in the future when there's a chance the software provider is the one at fault.
