Hi iuz,
It seems while installing Messenger Plus! you have installed the sponsor program by mistake: you selected I ACCEPT, install the sponsor in the installation program.
This sponsor program is totally optional, and is not compulsory for the use of Messenger Plus.
Please note this is not spyware it's simply a small search bar for Internet Explorer so Patchou (the creator of Messenger Plus!) can make a living off it...
To remove it do the following;
If before doing the below you have attempted to remove the sponsor program by any other method, like spyware and adware removal tools, messed around in the registry or tried to delete files you must install Messenger Plus! again
with the sponsor program before doing the below method.
- Click Start then Control Panel (classic view)
- Then click on Add/Remove programs
- The "Messenger Plus! - Uninstall" is now displayed.
- Two options are displayed, one will ask you to uninstall the sponsor program, and the other will uninstall Messenger Plus and the sponsor. Pick the first option to keep Messenger Plus, but remove the sponsor.
- Click Next
- You will be asked to type in a number that is displayed on a screen, do so, and click the resulting button next to the text field
- Close all Internet Explorer windows, and reboot your computer.
