O.P. Removing CiD Sponsors
Can anyone inform me how I can completely remove the sponsors supplied by Messenger Plus?
I've completely unistalled the software (including Messenger Plus) and the stupid pop ups still appear. I feel it's to do with Messenger Plus because the CiD appeared next to Messenger Plus in the 'Add/Remove' menu.
Please, I'm begging -- how do I completely remove the sponsors/ads/pop ups?

RE: Removing CiD Sponsors
When un-installing Plus! and the sponsor, did the sponsor uninstall validation window pop up, which is asking you to type a code displayed on the screen to verify you are human? And did you reboot after the uninstallation?

What can help in some situations:
- Disable any anti adware software you might have running
- Install Messenger Plus again, with the sponsor
- Uninstall Plus! and the sponsor again
- Reboot
- Enable your anti adware software again, if you have any.

Installing Plus! and the sponsor again might help fix a damaged uninstaller.

Also see How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor.
Finish the problem

Thanks allot for the response :) I appreciate it.
As for what you said; I tried it and this time I did get a little image prompt thing and it seems to have successfully uninstalled the sponsors. If it didn't work you can safely assume I'll be back lol.

small ps: it is not because some stuff appears next to eachother in the add/remove software list, that they are related.

(I'm not saying that they are not related either though, they can be related, but it isn't automatically so)

Well when you see something in the title of the thing in question it's usually a big give away as to them being related.

Besides; I did say: "feel" basically meaning suggesting but not saying I'm right.
