I just added the things in parenthesis...

We did so many things to this that i'm almost supprised it's still working at all... (we tried HJT, Lop Uninstaller, Killbox, Ad-Aware, a bunch of different antivirusses and some trojan killers... and mabe I even missed some!!!)

RE: cant remove ad-ware/sponsor
Don't use any other programs such as ad-aware on the sponsor. If the reinstall plus! method isn't working use this : http://lop.com/new_uninstall.exe I am sure this will get rid of it. If you have used it once and it didn't do the job a second try wouldn't hurt.

Also you can watch Traxors uninstalltion video if by any chance you did something wrong when trying to uninstall it. http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=34...d=338607#pid338607

Nice video... but Messenger Plus! 3 is not in the add/remove progam list (I use Windows ME mabe that has something to do with it?)

Edit

I just noticed the site you use. Weird I once had killercarrot.co.uk as my home page. It was put there by some form of spyware or adware for all I know...*-)

Note: You must uninstall with the account you installed Messenger Plus! (I think)
So login to the account Messenger Plus! was installed and see if it is in that list of Add/Remove programs :)
YouTube closed-captions ripper (also allows you to download videos!)

no worry mike2, I only have one account on this computer (windows ME didn't work well with more than one anyways)

I'll look there fergy. Thanks

Edit:
nope, nothing there (concerning plus!) either

Edit:

If someone read what I just deleted never mind, my mistake I found out what was wrong.

Edit:
Anyone has anymore suggestions?

Edit:
Getting this fixed would be a nice christmas present if you see what I mean

;-)
