us8h3sc,

Welcome to the Messenger Plus! boards. We would be glad to help you to remove the sponsor program, that wouldnt had been installed if you had read properly while installing Messenger Plus!. There are just a few things that I wanted to point out though:

- Patchou has worked a lot with C2Media to get the sponsor program as "clean" as it could be: no porn, just a search bar, links, a start page and favorites added. It won't do any harm to your computer, and once it has been properly uninstalled, it won't come back and it would be as though you never installed it.

- It is easy to uninstall following Patchou's instructions. Maybe there is something you did wrong when uninstalling it... Have you closed all you Internet Explorer windows, even killing the process before uninstalling ? This is the major recurring mistake people make when they want to uninstall.

- Making Messenger Plus! is Patchou's full time job. He works on this thing almost 7 days a week, and has been for a few years (and I can be sure of that, I live with him...). He is very dedicated to making his users happy by bringing them the features they want. However, with all the time he needs to make Messenger Plus! the most popular Messenger add-on, he needed to make some king of money out of it. He tried donations, but it didn't work. He wouldnt want people to go through the hassle of registering and buying a version, since most of his users couldnt afford to buy a software. The only solution left was the sponsor program, which he has decided should be optional. The latest public version of Messenger Plus! has a new "install sponsor" screen during the installation. It makes it very clear that a sponsor program will be installed if you select "yes". As I said, he has worked a lot to get this package as clean as it could be, while still receiving some money out of it. You may think that a lot of people come here to tell us that they don't like the sponsor program, but when you consider that there are 3 millions of dowloads every month and that we get about 6 threads a month regarding it, it is in fact a very small percentage.

We are sorry you won't reinstall Messenger Plus!, even without the sponsor program, and we will do anything we can to help you remove it.

Thank you !
