Patchou,

You may not realise it, but LOP is actually spyware, albeit of the lesser variety. Much more importantly, please make it clear to Plus! users that they must not use the "new_uninstall.exe" program provided at http://lop.com/help.html#uninstall. Not only will it not reliably remove LOP, it will install a trojan called "mp3search" or some such. The people at lop.com (Owned by C2 Media) are spyware vendors, & not to be trusted.

You really should find another sponsor. LOP will be the downfall of your damn good program. It'd be such a pity.

U prolly made the most common mistake. That beeing not having ur internet browser fully closed (from systray also) whilst uninstalling, remember u can't uninstall what's in use

This is a bit tricky to accomplish; WinXP prevents you from shutting down iexplore.exe processes completely - they just respawn. I'm not sure about earlier versions of Windows, but XP is only going to get more widespread, up until Longhorn comes out. So it is very hard to make sure the toolbar isn't in use.

Sincerly, Fred Greg.;)

Hi,

I'm facing this problem too and has followed all the instructions to removal of the toolbar time and time again including closing all internet explorers while uninstalling yet i am still unable to get rid of the toolbar. 

While uninstalling, the uninstallation verification window does not pop up.. tried looking for it on the taskbar but there isn't such a window... Could this be the cause of the unsuccessful removal?

Checked out the lop website but am afraid to download the uninstaller, as warned, that it might cause more spyware.

Help!!

There's aboslutely no reason why you shouldn'tgive the LOP unisntaller atry. It will NOT install anything, it's an unisntaller, nota trojan.. please, don't spread this kind of false rumor, there's already enough of those on the web :).
