Can you see the "Messenger Plus! Live & Sponsor" on the Add/Remove programs list? If not, why can't you just install Messenger Plus! again and remove it?

Yes, he did -> "I don't have messenger plus...."


Anyways, Johnny55... have you tryed programs like Ad-Aware, spy-bot... etc???

EDIT: Welcome to the Forum!!!

Homepage changes in your browser and pop ups aren't necessarily caused by an IM client or add-on. I can tell you for sure that Plus! does not use coolfreesearch as sponsor and neither does WLM.

Wich page does it change your homepage to?
Have you installed anything else (programs, add-ons, smiley programs..) right before it happend?
In control panel add/remove programs is there anything listed you don't know what it is (maybe it even says coolfreesearch)?

This community helps out with allsorts and the confusion is understandable. To me the problem is very clear (just not the exact cause). Also if you know wich subforum this thread should be in why don't you report it? Your post is not helping at all.

The Messenger plus live and sponsor isn't on add remove programs.

I've tried uninstalling live messenger and that doesn't work either.

It may not be through live messenger that it's got on my computer, it's just that I saw something about it on this forum and assumed it would be linked.

Does anyone know of any way to manually delete it as it seems to be slowing me down quite a lot.

Thanks for your quick response too Zach.

Don't forget the other posts, made by me and other made by Sunshine...

Just roll up a little the page...

There is no proof what that poster had was caused by Plus! sponsor. Have you even ever had Msg Plus! on your current computer? Can you please answer my other questions too?

Hey!!
Searching with Google, I found a message that a site could instal a "bad" software on computer. I click on the link gave by Google and I found some information, including this explanation!!!

So, please, answer Sunshine and take a look on the link I gave you now...

Thanks microway and sunshine too

Sunshine, to answer your questions:

I've been installing a few things as I formatted my hard drive last week. There's nothing unfamilliar in add/remove programs though.

The homepage resets to: http://www.openarticles.info/ every couple of hours after I change it.

Never had Msg Plus on my pc either. I was lead here by this thread : http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=27393

Microway, Ive tried adaware and spybot and none of these seem to work either. If you read through the thread above, it says the only way to get rid is to uninstall and then reinstall msg plus. As I don't have that, I'm really struggling on how to remove this problem.
