Maybe you need to go the way of the Plus! sponsor, and reinstall it, then uninstall it normally.

RE: Ugly spyware on desktop! by Purity on 01-15-2005 at 07:14 AM

You probably have an Active Desktop object that has not been removed properly.  (XP instructions).  Right click desktop, properties, desktop tab, customize button, web tab. Delete any unwanted 'web page' entry.  (Win98,W2K, WinME instructions). Right click desktop, Active Desktop ->, Customize my Desktop, Disable 'view my active desktop as a web page' and/or delete unwanted Active Desktop objects.  Also complete a comprehensive spyware check on your system.
