Yes some virusscanners do detect some file from the sponsor as being the virus Swizzor. However the sponsor does not contain any virus at all. This is a false warning. It is nothing to worry about, but if you do worry, then follow the instructions given by Sunshine to uninstall the sponsor, but do not use the virusscanner to remove it. Thus make sure you first disabled the virusscanner as it might interfear (and damage) the proper uninstall process.

Note about Trojan detection"
So, to get rid of the sponsor:
1) close virusscanner, close any other anti-adware/spyware monitoring program
2) reinstall Plus! with the sponsor (to fix the uninstallers)
3) right after, uninstall Plus! from add/remove programs. And follow the given instructions (like closing every browser window and then rebooting the system)
4) after rebooting, you can turn on the virusscanners and anti-adware/spyware tools again.
5) If you wish, you can now install Plus! again, but make sure you don't accept the sponsor when you install Messenger Plus! (or the virusscanner will give you a warning again)
