O.P. RE: Sponsor
I'm sorry to keep going on about this, but I have tried everything that has been suggested here (i.e, reinstalling and then uninstalling; disabling spyware software etc) yet everytime I log off my area and back on again the sponsor bars reappear.

This is the same for all five user areas on this computer and it's becoming a bit annoying.

*edit*: Also, I have completely uninstalled Messenger Plus! for the time being and the sponsor is still there, even after following those procedures suggested.

Try uninstalling Messenger Plus! from safe mode.
To do this:
1) Reboot your computer
2) Before the screen with the windows scrollbar appears, press F8
3) Select safe mode

Then uninstall Messenger Plus! from there...

Thats the only thing I can suggest... :-/

Here's a printscreen after I have rebooted my computer and started Internet Explorer.

Do everything you have been told before, but as Mike2 said, in Safe Mode.

Which Messenger Plus! version are you using? Have you tried with the lastest beta (3.40.0112)?

Hack, hack, hack!

Yep I'm using the latest 3.40.0112 version of Plus!

I tried starting in safe mode by pressing F8 but the only option it offered me was 'What operating system would you like to run?' or something along those lines.

Is there a different way of starting in safe mode?

*Edit*: I got it to run in safe mode so ignore the part above.

However, I went through all of the procedurs and still the sponsor program is still there when I reboot.

How annoying.

One last thing to check...
Then I cannot think of anything else... :(

Are you sure that all the processes named "iexplore.exe" are closed?

Right click on the system clock and click "Task Manager" (same as Ctrl + Alt + Del)
Click on the processes tab.
Are all the processes named "iexplore.exe" closed?
If not, click them and click "End Process"
Then uninstall MsgPlus!

Well if none of this works then i suggest just using some ant-virus/adware/spyware software. As Messenger Plus! is currently uninstalled, scan your computer and delete all the threats. If you don't have anti-virus/adware/spyware software then i recommend downloading free ones such as Lavasoft Ad-Aware Free Download, Microsoft Antispyware Download Page or other free trial antivirus software like norton, fsecue etc.
Hope this helps:)

There is a reason why we say not to use anti-adware software to uninstall the sponsor. The reason is because it'll damage the sponsor's files and it'll be harder to uninstall it.



kieranissafe, have you tried using this uninstaller?
