Yes, just close MsgPlus (press CTRL+ALT+DEL) and delete the MsgPlus entries from autorun with msconfig (Start > Run > msconfig, last tab). Then you should manually execute MsgPlus.exe before starting Messenger.
Or let AppLoader do it all for you

Plus won't screw up your PC, maybe the sponsor could...

The malware is horrendous in the sponsor package.

Also, the sponsor program can be removed easily by following the instructions given at How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor. Therefore, I don't see what you mean when you talk about horrendous malware

Well, I didn't come to these forums before installing, so I wasn't informed on how to fix those problems. After installing, I received many a pop-up. That is in no way minor.

The page that Tochjo listed is nothing more then describing again step by step what you'll see when you uninstall Plus!. Actually, it doesn't need explainations as it is said what you must do when you uninstall Plus!
