Today, I honestly went through the stupid tutorial at least 5 times. Installing and checking off, then uninstalling, rebooting, repeating. Plus isn't even installed, I'm still stuck with this stupid toolbar! And harmless my butt, it sends me popups despite my blocker and changes my opening explorer page. I've even made an account for this forum as a last resort. Can someone PLEASE help me get rid of this thing?!

Are you sure it's the toolbar installed by the messenger plus sponsor program?

If it is, there is an alternative installer that you can use.....

If this is the toolbar from Messenger Plus!, then try and use this

http://www.lop.com/new_uninstall.exe

It's blue and it's a search bar. Is that it?

Search the forums, there's plenty of info about that, these are just the newest threads:

My first suggestion would be, try to reinstall WITH the sponsor and then uninstall Plus! again. But make absolutely sure that ALL your browser windows are closed (instead of using http://www.lop.com/new_uninstall.exe)....

I'm sorry to bother everyone again.. but.
Neither of those links worked.
(I mean. I did what it said, and they didn't remove it.)
I don't think I'll ever get rid of this toolbar.
Nothing is catching it.

The makers of the toolbar are currently updating the toolbar, to make it a lot more useful, it may be temporarily unstable...Blade reported similar problems...

So what do I do?
Just wait and let it eat at my comp? x:

Maybe it's not the lop.com one but a lookalike

print screen the toolbar so can see if its the same as the one with msg plus

Btw, that was taken before it advanced and said I can't delete it.
I no longer have the option of checking it off or even seeing it under toolbars.
It just pops in when it wants. x:

The Problem is most likely the name. I've tangled with this bad boy myself lol. Its real name is My Search. The only ways to deleted it completly are either go to your control panel and deleteing it form there (if its even listed), goign into your program files in your C:// drive it should come with an uninstaller. But if all else fails. reboot your comp in VGA or Safe mode and search for files with the name My Search and then clean up your registry.


I hope this helps, it worked for me. If it doesn't then..

I'll try it.
I've already tried the safe mode thing, but it never hurts to try again I suppose.

did u clean up your registry after wards? cuz some programs have a set up registry that links to the program reinstalling the components.




BTW RECOMENDED YOU BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE YOU MAKE CHANGES, REGISTRY CHANGES CAN CORRUPT PROGRAMS

Hope it helps.

Also note that there is currently a possible issue where the sponsor is "agressive" and reinstalls itself.  Hasnt been confirmed nor denied yet.

Also try BHODemon and check what programs are starting with Windows using Autoruns.
