O.P. Sponsor toolbar kills Google toolbar
I went ahead and installed the sponsor toolbar for the sake of helping keep the software free.  However...  it killed my Google Toolbar.  It replaced it in IE.  When I right click on the toolbars, I can recheck Google and uncheck the sponsor one, but if you close and reopen IE, Google is gone again and the sponsor toolbar is back. 

I finally gave up, uninstalled Messenger Plus and reinstalled without the sponsor toolbar and all is fine.

Anyone happen to find a way to let them coexist?  I tried to be good!

The best way to be good without sponsors is buying some merchandise from MP! I did it. ;)

I don't know about the bars, btw, sorry.

It only kills toolbars because of the fact that toolbars now contain popup blockers. As well as toolbars being killed, popup blockers cease to function too. I find this quite ingenious and funny because I want to run the sponsor without popups, as it would annoy the hell out of my family :).
