O.P. Unknow Programs
You say : " Messenger Plus! is a freeware. Freeware is neither spyware nor shareware but freeware "
Everytime i install msn messenger plus, my firewall ( Zone Alarm Pro ) detects on every startup some unknown programs who are attempting to connect to the internet. When i delete the msn messenger plus, those programs dissapear too.
What does that mean ???

RE: Unknow Programs
You need to probably follow the steps on how to remove the sponser program then you need to re-install messenger plus! and do not install the sponser program  And if that don't fix it it might not be messenger plus! so you might want to goto www.lavasoftusa.com and download there software and scan and it should get rid og it!! Hope this helps ya! |

Not a very good idea. The link Keystorm provided is the best idea, running Adaware may cause some problem. |

Using Ad-ware, Spybot S&D or whatever to remove the sponsor program is a bad idea. Follow the exact instructions at http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=24337 - they will work.

RE: Unknow Programs
Ad-aware instead of deleting the sponsor deletes the UNINSTALLER of the sponsor, so if you use ad-aware you won't be able to remove it in any way afterwards.
Do the right thing, try the right way first, that's why it's there anyway.

RE: Unknow Programs
Even if it doesn't seem to work, you shouldn't use Lavasoft Adaware. I know how to read.
Those instructions will work. Install again with the sponsor program, reboot a few times and it does work.
