If you REMOVED the sponsorship program, then the popups you are getting is nothing to do with Messenger Plus! (Live)
Make sure you go to Add/Remove Programs > Messenger Plus! (Live) > Remove Sponsor
Download Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition and scan your computer for spyware.
Do you have Msg Plus! or Msg Plus! Live ?

mess.be is trustable.
If you said you removed the sponsor, then I am 300% sure that it is not Plus'! sponsor causing the pop ups, you surely have another adware program...

Did you use any other anti-adware programs to try and remove the sponsor before trying to uninstall it the proper way?
If so, re-install plus with the sponsor, then uninstall it through Add/Remove Programs
If you've done all this and it still persists then i really doubt its the plus sponsor!
Note: you can also check if the sponsor is installed by looking at the uninstall dialog for plus, in both live and plus 3 it will tell you if the sponsor is installed or not

Please don't use caps like that, stay calm. What you could do:
- Download Plus.
- Install Plus! with the sponsor.
- Reboot your PC.
- Uninstall Plus! trough control panel > software > Messenger Plus! Live
- Reboot your PC again.
Make sure you don't have any anri adware/spyware software running while you do all of this that could be automatically deleting files or blocking access to files. These tools are meant to help you, but in some situations the can damage or block the uninstaller from the sponsor, and in that case they do more harm then good.
EDIT: Plik was faster

Calm down, it can be sorted simply and quick. It would be Adware which doesnt come with Messenger Plus Live. Simply do what MenthiX said and run a Adware scan. This will remove any unwanted and hidden crap in your system that would be doing this.
