I would like to suggest a couple of correction, based on the screenshot posted.

(or at least Medium, if Plus! OPTIONAL sponsor is already high, how will they rate cool web search? "Ultra Insane Maximal" ?

In either case this software is not to be trusted.
In either case you should pay attention when installeing this software.
It's optional, remember?
Other then that i wonder what kind of action Microsoft's software will take against Plus? Default setting is ignore, meaning that it will leave everything alone? That's ok, but what are the other options? I fear destructing Messenger Plus! itself and leaving the sponsor on the pc
. Like said before, not Messenger Plus! should be targeted, but the sponsor itself. Although appopriate action against the sponsor will be launching the Messenger Plus! uninstaller.
Besides that, doesn't the Verisign license mean something to this? It shows that the Plus! installer can be trusted according to Verisign right? I don't know a lot about the Verisign licenses, but Microsoft use them too so it must have some meaning to them
. Anyway, Patchou should contact Microsoft.
