O.P. RE: Adware/Sponsor Questions
Okay, here's an update on my problem.

I never decided to system restore yet.

But today, my anti-virus program detected a trojan located in a folder called "Circle Development". Is this the same thing as "CiD" that comes with MsgPLus? :\ The file detected as a trojan within the folder was named "Uninstall.exe". The antivirus program called this discovery "Trojan horse Generic9.ALBS".

Apparently, my brother ran the anti-virus program a few days ago, and deleted it. But it popped up again today, this time, when I ran the antivirus... and when I looked in the Ad and Remove programs section, to uninstall MsgPlus + the sponsor, it said something along the lines of "Sponsor damaged by third party program, please install again."

I have re-installed it to remove it, and it didn't seem to work. I even tried safe mode.

I have a feeling this trojan is from the sponsor... So, please, oh please, help me remove it?

PLEASE, before you respond to this post, read the stuff I've written above in previous posts.
