Please reread this entire thread as I think you're missing the whole point...
It is clearly stated in this thread that uninstalling Plus! by going to add/remove programs will also uninstall the sponsor.
And that by using programs like ad-aware, S&D, you only will _corrupt_ the uninstall process of the sponsor. And to fix this you should install Plus! again but _with_ the sponsor and rightafter, without the use of any anti-adware program you should uninstall it and follow the proper instructions (also something many people forget todo).....
To add to this: I also tried the "suggestions" from the other forums to see what it will do. And I can tell you that it will not only corrupt/damage the uninstall process of the sponsor, but will also delete some other totally unrelated things in the registry which shouldn't be deleted at all. And above all, it will leave some traces of the sponsor on your HD and registry....
Those anti-adware programs are _not_ as good as they may seem and often do more (invisible) damage then you know. You should only use such programs if you know exactly what you're doing and have a proper knowledge of what things are in the computer and its registry.

If I told you to format your PC the ads will be gone too. What I mean is, it is not because the ads are visible away, that it is the good thing to do...
Now, obvisouly you know that formatting your PC is drastic and will also remove other things. But this is just the same with those ad-aware programs: Because you don't know what they exactly do and because you don't know what the optional Plus! sponsor exactly has installed, you trust upon strange people saying that it will be the good thing to do. Well, what if you don't know what implications formatting your pc will have? Of course the ads will be gone too then, but will you still say that formatting your pc is the good thing todo?
I hope you understand what I am saying here
Anyways, the point is, do _not_ use such programs to remove the sponsor 'cause it will do more damage then good (even if you think or it seems that everything is fixed now). Instead follow the instruction given by us (people who know what Messenger Plus! is, does and installs and tested it to the limits (including its sponsor), hence you came to this forum).
I hate to say this, but more then often the problem isn't the install/uninstall of the sponsor but the person itself who is doing something wrong, although they claim not to. (and far too often people are too rude to see this and rather continue to flame. Although there are
exceptions.)
If something is broken on your car, you don't go to the grocery store to ask on how to fix it
