Search your computer for spyware using Ad-aware and Spybot S&D:

Make sure you update both Ad-aware and Spybot too.

Try uninstaling them again, then go to find files and folders, and use its search properties to find any thing left of MSN Plus.
Then delete any thing you can find and then restart your computer. That should remove any thing that was left. I know what you mean about MSN. I use MSN as my ISP. They ent me a CD to upgrade to MSN9. I finally had to delete anything and every thing connected to MSN off my computer to fix my computer. Some of their stuff is so intrusive that it boogles the mind.Let us know if you have any more problems.  thorlo6
