?? That means you DID indeed install the sponsor program?... I think you probably just said that wrong... But make sure you slow down and take your time going through the installation pages so that you are 100% sure that you're not accidently installing the bundled adware that comes with Messenger Plus!

no. whereever you took that quote from i think you may have taken it out of context. most like i installed Messenger Plus and its sponsor to simply have it removed again so when i remove it, im removing a version which hasnt been interfered with.


CookieRevised:

thanks for the input.

i beleived 100% that the spyware came from MsgPlus. (and who wouldnt when you install the sponsor from plus and its exactly the same product. also when the removal seems to remove it but does a dodgy job because it comes back). now i guess it has come from somewhere else

A common mistake (other than not following the instruction for closing every MSIE window), is to have dodgy anti-virus or anti-spyware programs running in the background which actually cripple the correct uninstallment procedure (and often without you noticing it). Some other security monitoring programs do the same.

safe mode would have prevented other anti-spyware programs running/interfering in the background? i didnt have any other windows open except for the add/remove programs one.

i really need to find the source of where Lop came from. i emailed C2 media and theyre not helping at all...

how can C2Media's software be legal when its spying on my usage. it installed itself (im pretty sure i had nothing to do with it - i could be wrong [not bloody likely] ). and its being a pain by hiding itself and not uninstalling. i know its not particularly malicious but still if C2Media dont tell me how to get rid of it i consider it a virus.
