i bloody hate them sites mate dont worry..... but the internet is becoming a bit of a joke these days :( adaware is free and finds all adware and cookies n stuff that might cause problems www.download.com is where i got that from

there was another one too i used but i forgot what its called, that was also really helpfull and free

yeah i downloaded about 4 adware parasite adware etc programs, each finding different things somehow but blah :p

lol yeah its wierd how, one programme wont find all the different things and you need like 10 different programmes all to do the same job, but to make sure everything has been found

Congrats MindTrix, you are now officially a n00b.
I am an Official Translator of Messenger Plus!, and all over the place we hear about people who download the software and just click Next and Agree like it was nothing.
But this is where Plus is different. Next time, read the EULA or at least read the 2 radio buttons you are presented with at each install:
() I AGREE, install the sponsor program

() I REFUSE, do not install the sponsor program


Now we all know you must have clicked AGREE, then next.
Please be more observant next time.
We do not like people claiming Messenger Plus! got unwanted adware. Yes it got adware, but only if you choose it.
Please reinstall the program, this time clicking REFUSE unless you want to support Plus!, and enjoy the features :)

think mindtrix was saying he didn't knowingly download adware, meaning it didnt happen cause a misreading of an EULA but that evil popups and active-x flaws/javascript flaws in IE allowd them to download stuff to mindtrix's comp

anyways its happened to me and im still battling off one spyware/adware named DSO Exploit and one named Dialer-Gen>_<

Oh. if thats what you meant, trix, then my apologies :)

Memory leaks, its not very well intergrated into windows, IE still and always has loaded faster, Firefox also happens to look very bland when it comes to some other things.

Isn't the whole point to not be integrated with Windows?

Yep, I made this mistake on my first MsgPlus install, there's a screen which looks like a normal install screen, and basically it says do you want to install the sponsors stuff. It's easy enough to clear up. Just install some of the tools highlighted in my article :)

Of course IE will load faster then firefox. Because firefox is not tied into the operating system like IE is.

That is the sole reason I do not use IE for browsing anymore, with all the stuff going around now a days I just feel alot better browsing with firefox or anything thats not IE.

I can deal with the extra milla-seconds firefox needs to start up, cause it is faster loading pages and I just like it alot better then IE. Of course if something better came along firefox would be deleted rather quickly. ;)
