O.P. Installer bug
When I installed the latest version MSN+ on the latest version of MSN Messenger, I made sure to choose not to install the ad-ware. But it installed it anyway.
So there must be a bug in the installer that is installing it even when its told not to, or this was done on purpose in attempt to make more money?
btw that toolbar is evil, anything that doesnt let u remove it or disable it is clearly evil, it's disabled me right-clicking on IE's toolbar to uncheck it, and it has even taken over of my DNS (totally unnecessary for a toolbar).
It won't let me goto any sites that have utilities for removing spyware... and no it is not my isp, because my other computer gets to the site no problem,
the dns for said site, returns 127.0.0.90. which goes nowhere.
I opened my hosts file in Notepad (in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\), and it has redirected over 100 sites to nowhere... not a very friendly program at all!
PS before one of you start suggesting that i got this ad-ware from something else, i can assure you I didn't, since i JUST formatted, and this was the first thing i installed (after SP1+MSN), everything was fine before i installed, i even made a restore point in XP before installing Plus!, because this exact thing happened to me before, before I formatted. That was the older version too!
