O.P. CoolWWWSearch and Lop
Does the new version of Plus include this spyware? I just got done cleaning Lop off my computer and want to be sure it's not caused by this wonderful program.

RE: CoolWWWSearch and Lop
Yes it still does. But it has ALWAYS been optional to download and install..During the installation look for this page and select NO dont like it install:
Hope this helps .

I'm not sure if I remembered to click No. Is there any way I can find out, or do I need to uninstall/reinstall?

You should un-install then re-install and then dont let it install the sponser .

O.P. RE: CoolWWWSearch and Lop
I did see a search bar in IE, plus altered favorites and icons on my desktop.
Thanks for the tips! Looks like I got it licked (finally). Lesson here is to read what I'm doing, not just click on buttons blindly.

RE: CoolWWWSearch and Lop
Plus does not alter your icons on your desktop..That would be just dodgy, and I dont think that it alters favorities either

The sponsor program does.
Please get your facts straight before posting about it.

It only adds icons (Shortcuts to websites) to the desktop, it doesn't change any of the original icons. quote: Originally posted by Sean

What Sean was trying to say is what i posted above. It doesn't change other items just adds more.
