I swore I said this as well :P

lol.. yeas but you also gave other instructions in the same message.. those are the one and only instructions anybody should follow. The uninstaller that is present on C2Media's web site is for software who don'y give access to the uninstaller themselves (and those software are not "banished" from C2Media do to their own new policies).

I tried uninstalling it with the sponsor and then reinstalling it, and it still appears for me.

Now what?!

Make sure you have completely closed your browser (that means making sure its not running in taskmanager)
And then try to uninstall it.
Closing the browser means that the ad can be removed properly

Right now, Plus! is uninstalled, and the browser was closed when I uninstalled it.
But when I open IE, I still get this accursed toolbar (that doesn't even work, I might add), and pop-ups every once in a while.

Grr...

If you used a program like Ad-aware inbetween the last install and the last reinstall then you need to reinstall with the sponsor to repair the files.
If you have alredy done this then i apologise and i dont know what is stoping it from uninstalling properly

I didn't use ad-aware, but a while back I did try to delete a few files. However I've reinstalled Plus! three times, with no luck.

Gabgooba: I suggest you try again by reinstalling the sponsor with Messenger Plus! 3.21. In version 3.20 I was testing delayed insstallation of the sponsor and this could have prevented you from reinstalling all the sponsorfiles properly.

Because of the feedback I got about delayed install, I removed it from the setup (again, to avoid misunderstandings) so installing version 3.21 will reinstall all the sponsor files instantly.

RE: Can't remove ad!
Thank you, Patchou, that worked splendidly! My old installer was 320.

Also, to avoid making another topic, I was wondering if you could just answer me this questio about the POP3 e-mail feature, I couldn't find it anywhere in the FAQs.

Okay, well, it isn't working. The server I enter, should it be the home page of the site, or the home page of the mail part of the site?
I'm using http://www.yahoo.ca (.ca, not .com), and am having trouble. Should the 110 be changed? Am I missing something here?
