Hey,

Yesterday and after installing the new version of Messenger Plus!, microsoft antispyware start asking me if i want to Allow or Block some URL changes bla bla, so i blocked everything.

But later i started to find unusual popups, like CASINO, ADULTFINDER, ADULT MEETING bla bla, even if i'm not browsing any webpage. though i have SP2 meaning a POPUP blocker.

I'm not sure if this is a POPUP of because of a DIaler, but what i care now is to get rid of them, coz i scaned my pc using Microsoft Anti Spyware, and XoftSpy, they found somethings but same trouble excisted, so i scanned using McAfee, nothing overthere, so i also cleared my Internet Temp, and still same thing.

So if anyone has an idea just tell me pls thanks in advance

SP2 popup blocker is the worst popup blocker in existance, heres an example.

I go on a website "Popup Blocked" and 2 seconds later a popup appears. Its like a one time thing, it will block 1 popup only, and then it wears off.

It wouldnt be plus, unless you have the sponsor (too bad is isnt something that isn't catagorised as malware ). Get ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com), if that doesnt work, scan for viruses, and then check for programs that might like to dwell as a toolbar: mywebsearch, Dashbar, coolwebsearch, etc etc.
Go through add-remove programs and look for anything with "search" in the name, and then post here anything suspicious.

Why did you block plus? i always say yes, because i know i didnt install the sponsor, and its safe.

I already did all that,

then what i blocked isn't the plus it self, it's some url changes.

Plus i already had messenger plus! months ago and i just made upgrade for the latest version, but i didn't face such popups!
even though that i'm still using same progams since i installed plus for the 1st time, and SP2 popblock was working fine and still fine, coz i dont get any popup except these!!

and i remind u again it happens even of i'm not browsing!!

You probably installed the sponsor of Messenger Plus!.. I suggest you disable Microsoft Anti-Spyware (which can't do its job properly), reinstall Plus! with the sponsor (to restore the system to a proper state) and then uninstall everything from Add/Remove Programs.

But... I thought... MP's sponsor program doesn't allow things like 'adult finder' and 'adult meeting' - being family friendly and all that.
