i have installed msn plus a while ago, but now i'm on msn 7!
but with msn there's a sponser site... which was set to my homepage and there was a taskbar coming up everytime i opened the net... so i changed my homepage back to google and just closed but taskbar...
but today the taskbar wont close... i've done a search on my pc and nothing... but in the box was what i wanted to delete!!! i can't find it on add and remove programmes on control panel...
msn plus isn't on my pc no more becuase i deleted it but can anyone tell me how to get the taskbar off becuase it wont close?

have you tried the Ctrl-Alt and delete
all the programmes that are up an running will be shown in the window that you can end

download it from www.download.com (http://www.download.com). Its ace.
I ran a spybot Search and Destroy at the same time as Microsoft antispyware.
S&D found 3 ..
M/antispyware found 44!! Says alot really!

You can use all those programs, but the taskbar will stay. You have installed it when you installed Plus. (next time, remove the tag).
The only way afaik is to restore the registry backup.
PS the best spyware remove programm is "hitman" as it's several programs in one (like adaware, search and destroy, etc.).

Iwas speaking to al about this yesterday, i was telling someone about using msn 7.0
They said they didnt have it so i went a hunting to give them a link, i accidently clicked on msn 7.0 with foreign language BIG FUKIN OOPS !!!!
It sent like 50 dialler threats, 10 Trojans flooding onto my comp, iv got spy sweeper and norton and spy bot search and destroy and it still got to my comp.
Just watch what your clicking on.
Iv got about 8 left now and havent a clue how to get rid of them, but everything is kinda going ok now.
