Regarding your suggestion of giving patchou a mothly salary, I can only point to a product of which I am a customer - and has been for a long time - WinZip. I paid Nico Mak his $20 a long time ago. HIS program has never intruded the way Messenger Plus did.
Because it doesn't have a sponsor because it is NOT a free program. Patchou has choosen to keep Plus! free and thus he need to have an income by other means (like a sponsor advert)...

sorry but the textbox always has (and always will) accepted 7 digits.... and if it was a fluke which you (out of the millions that install/uninstall it every day) had, why not simply try to repeat the process? Like Matty said, we have tested this software thru and thru, including the install/uninstall of the sponsor. And it never failed. Unless you destroyed the uninstall process by removing it yourself by using agressive methods. But a simply reinstall with the sponsor fixes that....
If millions of people had the problem you are describing then:
A) There IS something wrong with it
B) You had a case
C) There wouldn't be a Plus!
PS: If you don't like it, then leave it. Nobody forces you to use Plus!. (just like nobody forced you to install the sponsor)
