 RE: adaware program...
programs dont just "come back" after uninstallation. Maybe the adware u got is not from messenger plus!. 
Anyway, reinstall plus! with sponsor and then uninstall, that should help

Give this a go...it will safely uninstall the Plus! and other LOP sponsors...if it doesn't work the adware you've got isn't from Plus!

 RE: adaware program...
software does not reinstall, unless there is a program to reinstall it. its phissicly impossible for a program that dosent exist anymore (you uninstalled it) to tell the computer to install itself again. 
edit: second last post got deleted

  when you say you deleted it, you don't mean you removed it with "ad-aware" or other adware removal program do you?
 
if you did, you need to disable the ad-ware removal program temporarily, reinstall msgplus with the sponsor, uninstall msgplus, to completely remove the sponsor program

 RE: adaware program...
 I have exactly the same problem since my teenage son downloaded messenger plus anc clicked "Accept" to everything!  We have been plagued by this adware sticking search bars on explorer and shortcuts on the desktop.  No problem before messenger plus installed.   
 
I have tried uninstalling messenger plus, reinstalling without the sponser.  It seems to have worked for a few days or week and then it comes back.  Its a real pain.  No other programs apart from messenger plus installed.  Going to other help forums reveals lots of people with the same complaint about the same adware which is impossible to get rid of -  many complaints related to Messenger plus. 
 
What particular adware should we be looking for on the pc in order to know for sure whether it is messenger plus related - ie what .exe files, processes, or other files should we search for to discover what it is we are dealing with?

Anything to do with lop.com, search.com, c2media. if it doesn't contain anything like that, then it won't be to do with Messenger Plus! at all. 
 
try this uninstaller:
