I have exactly the same problem since my teenage son downloaded messenger plus anc clicked "Accept" to everything!  We have been plagued by this adware sticking search bars on explorer and shortcuts on the desktop.  No problem before messenger plus installed. 

I have tried uninstalling messenger plus, reinstalling without the sponser.  It seems to have worked for a few days or week and then it comes back.  Its a real pain.  No other programs apart from messenger plus installed.  Going to other help forums reveals lots of people with the same complaint about the same adware which is impossible to get rid of -  many complaints related to Messenger plus.

What particular adware should we be looking for on the pc in order to know for sure whether it is messenger plus related - ie what .exe files, processes, or other files should we search for to discover what it is we are dealing with?
