O.P. Cool  Sponsor software idea
You know, everone that I've talked to installed MsgPlus! the first time with the sponsor software and all of them said it messed with their computer and they hated it. Many people uninstalled Plus! because of it and only re-installed it after I told them how to keep the problems from comming back (the problems DID stop when they uninstalled at least). I personally had to remove it the first time because it messed with my network's internet filter and was creating some 1000 "hits" (blocked or unauthorized internet requests) every hour.

It seems to me that if you want people to agree to allow the sponsor ads you might want to consider changing the way it works. (Having never personally actually SEEN the program in action--because my filter stopped it--I don't know exactly what it does) But it seems that if you give people the option of turing it on or off at any time and let them CHOOSE what kind of ads come to them, then ask them to support Plus! by allowing some ads, you'd get a lot more people using it. (I'm assuming that the sponsor is paying based partly on how many people install with their ads.)

If you allow them to turn it on or off at any  time, let them choose a few things that interest them, maybe even let them choose how often ads appear people would probably be more willing to tolerate it...

Just a thought.
