Have you tried resetting the Keyword.URL setting before you completely removed FireFox?

No, I didn't try that because I didn't know how to, but thanks for the tip for next time. It's unfortunate that the sponsor does this to begin with, though.

Well, that was probably the reason why you thought the sponsor was still present but hidden and hijacking and all... The Keyword.URL in Firefox is just a setting which controls the keyword search. So you may remove every program from your computer, the setting will still be there, since it is just an URL. And since users can change that at their will at any time, the 'old' value is not stored. Hence it can not be restored automatically after you uninstall the sponsor; you need to do that manually.

Hi guys,

I have been following this thread with interest and wanted to clarify a few things on behalf of Yuna Software:

1.    The installation of Messenger Plus! remains transparent and our services are still optional.  As you can see in the window below, users can choose whichever checkboxes they want during the installation process.  (In the scenario below, the user has chosen NOT to install the toolbar, not to install the default search but yes, to make Plus! network his/her homepage).

2.    To uninstall the toolbar, the software, or Plus! Network, standard uninstall procedures are in place via Add/Remove

3.    Disabling the toolbar will not uninstall the toolbar.  To uninstall, you must use add/remove.

4.    We agree that more documentation was needed for the uninstall process of the Messenger Plus! Community Smartbar and are happy to refer you to the brand new FAQ here which gives users detailed uninstall instructions, including removing the search and changing the home page

[http://pages.msgplus.net/toolbar/faq.html

5.    If you have suggestions in improving the documentation on this page, feel free to send me a private message.



As always, we appreciate your feedback.

I've uninstalled EVERYTHING related to plus! including the browser addons, and the plus! software itself. I've uninstalled and reinstalled my browsers. and  IT STILL REDIRECTS MY SEARCHES TO THE PLUS! NETWORK.

Please provide better instructions on how to uninstall this unwanted malware.

mystix (and others), these are the instructions you need, which CookieRevised mentioned:

No one should have to start going into advanced settings to get rid of this stuff, but following the above link and the instructions will work.

uff, never more Messenger Plus !!!

Messenger Plus install the update automaticaly !!! I never checked sponzor  during the installation.  Messenger Plus rebbed me 3,5 hours of my work !!!
I cleaned the firefox, but i still can not clean chrome.

This would never have to wait on the application that is associated with Microsoft !!!

I reinstall application (downloaded from this web - for reinstall), cleaned registry, I used hitjack, and yet others ... and stupid Plus!network occupying my address bar in chrome

How to get rid of it? This following instructions lead nowhere.

thx for URL,
... works

I still have the same problem, Plus! Network keeps changing my search engine in Firefox serarchbar and address bar. And the last time this happened was today.
I change them back to google and delete Plus! network as an search engine option, but still Plus Network! changes it back and adds it to the list.

As I have made clear before, I did not authorize the add-on to be installed, nor did I authorize the installer to change my homepage or search engine. Of this I am 100% sure.

I have tripple checked if the add-on is installed, even though I know for certain that it never has been installed on my PC. Nor do I have other programs installed that includes giving access to the Plus! network. I even uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure I didn't give any authorization to add-ons etc. Again I am 100% sure because I am suspicious of any program I install and always make sure I choose the advanced options so I make sure I don't give permission for any program to change things on my pc or add-ons to be installed.

I am using the lates norwegian version of Firefox 8.0. I dowloaded MsgPlus! direclty from msgplus.net and the current norwegian version is 5.10.0.750.

As I am only part nerd I don't know how to give you logs or other proof, other than my word for what I tell you is the truth.
