O.P. MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
Hi,
I'm disappointed to discover Virii or Parasits on the Installer of MessengerPlus! 3.0.
In fact, after installed this software, 2 parasits try to put themself to C:\Progra~1\Readme~1 and C:\Progra~1\GRID*
The both parasits try to put themself on the Startup Registry
I blocked that with ViGUARD www.viguard.org and i have removed them myself because No AdAware or Antivirus can detect them.
On the Internet Explorer, the virus or parasit put its codes and if u right click on a toolbar in IE, u see BIANSTRANSTHIS and there is no toolbar or anything else...
I tried to removed that but now, i see a Blank on the right click in the Toolbar can be activated but doesn't do anything.

RE: MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
You opted to install the Messenger Plus Sponsor Program and Thanks for supporting Messenger Plus. If this was not your intent and did not want the optional sponsor program, Please be more diligant in reading the end user agreements when you install software on your computer.
Instructions to properly remove the sponsor program can be found by searching these forums.
Messenger plus is 100% Viri/Parasite free when downloaded from the official download site.

lol, excuse me but if MessengerPlus can remove the Ad of MSN, why does it contain others AD ???
I'm sorry but i hate that method ... I never read the End User agreements because it is always very long to read, i'm lazy about that, anyway, i'll find a solution without have to remove MessengerPlus lol
Thanks.

you're not forced to install the sponsor, becaue it is Optional. read http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21598 and you'll find more info about how you can uninstall it.

I'm afraid this is an error, since ad-removers screw up installations and leave back inoffensive files that might still eat resources and space. The best thing you can do is uninstalling MP!, reinstalling it WITH sponsor (to get the installations back), uninstall MP! (in order to really uninstall sponsor) and reinstall MP! WITHOUT sponsor.
This way you will get cleanly rid of sponsor.
There's a post from Patchou explaining this, though.

I have uninstalled myself the adware of MP, i have some protections who can log me the changes done, i read the log and i cancelled all changes and i removed Hijack with HijackThis, now everythings is OK.
No Adware loaded in Memory, neither on Startup of Registry.
So Fuck Adware lol

RE: MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
So you also removed the registry keys manualy?
We all realy suggest you to do what KeyStorm has said (install plus with sponsor to fix the uninstaller and traces, uninstall plus again to completely get rid of everything, after that you can install plus without the sponsor if like).
Plus! uninstalls the adware completely without a fuss. Anti-adware tools will only corrupt the uninstaller and will leave traces, even if you don't see it at first sight...

RE: MessengerPlus 3.0 Contain Parasits!!
What uninstalling it completely and reinstalling will remove this stupid homepage highjacker? Because i did that and still doesn't work. Do i need to go to regedit and remove it that way?
