And Tassadar turns to the forum for guidance.
Anyway, I installed MSN Messanger Plus! recently, and without noticing I installed the adware alon with it, and low-and-behold, the popups fly. When visiting any site I get popups, and I have a nice little porn/search/ad-****ing-piece-of-**** toolbar on IE.
Yes, I ran Ad-Aware, Spybot. And tried removing the toolbar, and of course when I do so IE does something to that of 'refreshing' itself, and reloads the toolbar everytime I try to remove it.
Oh, I didn't mention the homepage changes did I?
By the way feel free to express your anger in Adware, tell us your experiances. Once my network drivers were disabled and some kind of program only allowed me to visit certain sites, afterwards eliminating my network drivers. Super.
And then there are the other ones with the nice endless stream of popups, you close one, and the same one opens, its fun being on a fast connection however, because all that refreshing lags and often causes a timeout on their servers.
Never, EVER install MSN Messenger Plus!!
