Files will never turn suddenly into a certain type when installing software.
If you install Messenger Plus!, it will not, out of the blue, convert unencrypted text logs into encrypted ple files.

I did NOT suggest to go to add/remove programs. In fact I specifically said: reinstall over the current installation!
I specifically suggested this in that way so he will not loose his current settings. If he first removes Messenger Plus! by going to add/remove programs, chances are (higher) that he also removes his current settings (by accident).

Because they were encrypted in the first place. As I said, files will not suddenly turn into another file type just by installing something.
If they are .ple files it means you have specifically encrypted them before by enabling the chat encryption in Messenger Plus!. To turn them into readable (in notepad and other text editors) files again, you need to turn off chat encryption.
Plus! > Preferences > Privacy Protection > Passwords > Log Files Encryption
Turning that option off will decrypt all the encrypted chat logs (.ple files) in the main log directory.
