there is no C2Media folder.

i am quite certain it is MsgPlus that has me infected. ill do a test right now. the situation was as before, i had no spyware. i installed a fresh version of plus WITHOUT the sponsor software. all is good, no problems, i restart PC normally, log in, and the spyware appears. i have to reinstall Messenger Plus WITH the spyware inorder to successfully remove it.

i have removed it, now im going to restart PC without install plus at all.

UPDATE

son-of-a-*****.

i restarted and the icons appeared. WTF!

its still msn-plus's fault however, as these icons/toolbars clearly came from msn plus... this software though, seems to have gone and infected my pc and wont go away. now its personal. how the hell am i supposed to get rid of it.. sigh

i read that sticky thread on how to remove the software.

ages ago, i did email C2media when i didnt know where it came from. i emailed them asking them how to remove the software, and i also wanted to know where it came from. they sent me some bs saying that they are not responsible for any harm because i read the "terms and conditions" when i installed their software... yeah right. they also sent me a link to download an executable file to remove the software (the same program that asks you to enter the numbers) and they also said to look in "add/remove programs" for any of the following:

'Search Plugin', 'Window Search', or 'Window Searching'.

none of those were there..

and i ran that program, i noticed the icons dissapeared, then about 2 seconds later they reappeared. i didnt touch anything they did it totally automatically...

help anyone?
