All signs of a badly-secured PC, I'm afraid. You will want to run both a full virus scan and spyware scan (making sure both scanners are fully updated), removing anything you find. Since you appear to have removed Plus!, the sponsor should also have been removed (if installed initially), otherwise follow Tochjo's advice first.

Once you've removed all the viruses and spyware, make sure you have a firewall installed, and that it's up to date. Scan all downloads for viruses, and regularly scan the whole PC for viruses and spyware (I myself do a weekly virus scan, spyware closer to monthly).
And of course, reinstall Plus! ;)
