Piece of sh*t msn plus

Post by tallman_house_pictures »

these stupid @sses that design these programs should die. After like 10 people tell me to get this msn plus thingy, i install it thinking it is from microsoft cause they used the logo. This piece of cr** program puts shortcuts to dating, movies etc (like 10) on my desktop and wont let me get rid of them. It adds this gay tool bar on internet explorer that i cant close (doesnt appear when i look at the toolbar list) , adds favoutires i can't delets. Then i go to uninstall it and cant! I have gay links to viagra on my desktop and favorites that i cant delete.
Well.....for one dont get thsi crappy add on. 2, any way i can fix it?

thanks,
msn plus should burn.

Have you tried blasting it away with Lavasoft's Ad-Aware?

Usually, if something like that happens to me, I transfer everything I've worked on for the past day and and reset my computer back a day to the previous restore save. It heals everything! I'm a security nut. My computer blocks all cookies, most scripts, plugins, and even a shielded network that'll lock any process without explicit consent. I only permit 1mb of temorary internet space to be used per time, and files are cleared continually. It's a miracle I can even watch movies on this particular computer. :lol: Try tweaking your internet and entranet settings enough there's no possible way for anything to sneak in! Try that! :)

i run msn+ on mine and i've had no problem with it.
what you may have done is aggreed to the 'sponser' liscence agreement as well as the 'software' liscence agreement. i did that by mistake once and it installed loads of c*ap with it like toolbars and shortcuts.
you can get rid of the spyware though - i remember doing a google search an found a file to un-install the sponser programs. i cant remember where it was but i just did a serach for whatever the sponser program was called (look in add/remove programs, although it cannot be removed by itself from here).

I made that mistake

You don't have to install the spyware. It's an option a lot of people miss.
