I heard a lot of people saying they had this appearing on their desktop the past few days. They all said they didn't install anything on their computer lately :dodgy:. If the uninstall that Underlord gave you didn't work, than it has got nothing to do with Plus! normally.

Keep us up-to-date please :)

Nah, you only get em on your desktop when you click YES on the sponsoragreement. But loads of other programs install them too, often without a choice..it's the reason why ppl should read the agreements before clickin yes (or just continue clickin "next", lots of ppl do) ;)

Thanks inviso_girl :)

RE: HELP!!!!!
Indeed this may very well be related to the sponsor program. Check out How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor to see how to get rid of them.

If you have already used other ways to try and remove them then it might be needed to reboot, reinstall Plus! with the sponsor, reboot, uninstall and reboot again. This because the uninstaller might have got corrupt when you used other means of removal, which did not work properly.
