Hi all,
I just joined. my problem might have been reported b4 but i have a dial up connection and cant afford to look through the forums.
i have installed Messenger Plus! the latest version. i chose not to install the adware sponsor. then i got this message from Microsoft's AntiSpyware that this program is an adware bundler. i blocked it. then when i went to the preferences tab in the options for Messenger Plus! there was nothing there, no text only icons. i reintalled Messenger Plus and then i allowed the Microsoft Antispyware message. as a result i have this toolbar and advertisements everytime i open my browser. please reply.

i will be eagerly waiting for a response!

cheers,
ashar

If you choose NO on the sponsoragreement Plus! won't install adware (sponsor).

There are lots of threads about Microsoft Antispyware have a look at:
Microsoft's Anti-spyware Software...
Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
MS Antispyware says Messenger Plus is adware
Microsoft ANtiSpyware Beta1 - False detections (not only Plus!)

If you accidently installed the sponsor:
1. Uninstall (start > controlpanel > add/remove programs), make sure you have your internetbrowser fully closed (complete exit)
2. reinstall with sponsor if you used a spy/adware removal program (if not go directly to point 4)
3. uninstall directly
4. reboot
5. reinstall without sponsor (you may wanna shut down Microsoft Antispyware whilst doing this, seeing as it interrupted the installation)
