They will tell you the same thing.

Alos, it is not malware, but adware. Major difference there. But anyways, whatever it is, it is not embedded in the setup, it gets downloaded and installed (if you have ticked the boxes).

And I'm repeating the same thing because there is unfortunatly not much else to say about it. Someone else will most likely say the very same things though.

All I (or anyone else) can suggest to disable/uninstall the sponsor stuff is what has already been said before in this thread and some other similar threads: it is not installed by itself and disable the toolbar/searches in your browser via your browser addons and uninstall the stuff by going to 'add/remove programs' and/or via the Plus! uninstaller (depending on what it is you want to remove).

If you are able to upload that offending setup file somewhere (eg: here) I can take a look at it, but other than that I'm afraid there is nothing else to say about it.
