I followed part of the uninstall sponser instructions, and when I choose remove the sponser it ran:
"C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Dead math bend\SendErrorWeb.exe",
which opened internet explorer, and that internet explorer asked me to type some numbers (which I couldn't read very well, I tried again a few times, but it went away). Now there is no option to uninstall the sponser program.
Install Plus! again, WITH the sponsor program. You must enter the numbers correctly to uninstall it properly..
And what are people who have trouble reading messed up letters like that supposed to do? Enter the letters wrong too many times and the sponser program forgets it's installed. That's not in any guide I can find.

The sponsor uninstall run by Plus! IS the standalone version. Plus! itself does not contain any sponsor related material, only the standalone installer, and standalone uninstaller.
Ok, but I mean, why did I have to
re-install the sponser program just because it forgot it was installed (it didn't forget to show ads). What I wanted was an uninstaller that I didn't have to go through 9 steps to activate.

please don't...
The files come from the sponsor program of Plus! And to properly uninstall the sponsor run the uninstaller.
Ok, why does the sponser program have to install into more than 5 non-standard folders named with random words, and they have no labels indicating where they came from and why they are there? Why are there at least 10 unique programs? Why do they start 2 copies of internet exploerer that have no windows and operate out of those rather than just continuing to run? (trying to obscure their presence?)
Why doesn't it install to
"c:\program files\c2 media advertising\"
and having a single program called c2media.exe that shows the ads and uninstalc2media.exe as the uninstaller?

No-one has told me yet where the sponser program installs, what it is named, or any other identifying information about it. Could I get some details?
You can read the detailed info in the EULA of the sponsor, which is presented to you when you install Plus!.
The sponsor is from C2Media which provides ads... (note: ads, not spyware!)
To all the other people in this thread: those files ARE from the sponsor, they are ads from the affiliates of C2Media. Please do not claim it is impossible that they come from the sponsor.
Ok, why aren't the programs labled? How is anyone supposed to know what these unmarked randomly named randomly placed programs are?
Having the answers to all these questions would be quite satisfying, and would also probibly be useful to other forum goers.
