O.P. RE: sponsor adware
nah, they are. because when the SW is temporarily removed, and i install Messenger Plus and its sponsor software, those icons appear, and the toolbar appears. then i uninstall, all it goes.
i do a fresh install, select no to software, all appears to be good.
then i restart pc, or log on as diff user and its back ok.
i had Messenger Plus uninstalled. yet the sponsor software was still on my pc.
ive just downloaded the latest version. installed with sponsor software.
went to uninstall, but selected to uninstall sponsor software only. the icons have disappeared, the toolbar, gone.
lets hope when i switch user / log off / restart, they stay gone. if they do, i will be one happy puppy.
UPDATE
well, all i did was simply start>shutdown>restart. waited. logged on as myself. and BAM theres the icons and toolbars. i am one massacistic puppy right now.
when i go to remove msn plus. it doesnt give me the option to uninstall the sponsor software individually, i dont think it realises the software has installed itself. this is a serious problem i beleive because how can i be sure its ever removed from my PC?
