Could some one tell me what the letters CID mean on the top left corner of the explorer page when a pop up appears.
My daughter apparently insatalled the latest version of msn live and then uninstalled it when she realised pop ups were appearing and Daddy wouldnt be happy.
Anyway it seems the live messanger plus sponser was in the add and remove list but when I tred to remove you got a message saying it is no longer on the system and may have allready been removed.
So we are left with gambling pop ups and the like appearing.
Any idea how to solve.
I ran spy docter and this seemed to just remove cookies.

How can I uninstall the sponsor program?
To uninstall the sponsor, simply go in the "Add/Remove Programs" window, select "Messenger Plus! Live & Sponsor" and follow the instructions. You will be given the choice of uninstalling the sponsor only (if you still want to keep Messenger Plus! without the ads) or everything altogether. Note that if the software is listed as "Messenger Plus! Live" and if the uninstaller doesn't inform you of the presence of the sponsor, it means that the Messenger Plus!'s sponsor is currently not installed and that the advertisements you may be seeing are coming from something else installed in your system.
If the sponsor was installed but damaged by a third party program, the uninstaller will inform you of the problem. In that case, the easiest procedure is generally to disable your anti-adware/spyware, reinstall Messenger Plus! Live with its sponsor and launch the uninstaller again, this will ensure that nothing interferes with the proper uninstallation of the program. When launched, the sponsor's uninstaller will simply ask you to confirm the number displayed on screen and will then proceed with the uninstallation. You can then re-enable your anti-adware/spyware product and contact them about the problem you experienced because of their improper removal of Messenger Plus!'s files.Ex forum ambassador
