I can guarantee you that it isnt Messenger Plus! Live that you got this virus from but i recomend that you run an antivirus on your system.
If you dont have one, you can get one free from here

Some anti virus programs detect the sponsor application as a virus. However this isn't the fact. The sponsor shows you a couple adds here and there and that is it there is no virus included.

I should also add to what's already been said that the sponsor is an OPTIONAL extra, during set up you get a choice whether to install it or not

If you have installed Plus! Sponsor by mistake and wish to remove it, go to Start > Add/Remove Programs > double click "Messenger Plus! Live & Sponsor", and the uninstall process will start.
For more information on how to uninstall the sponsor see How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor

It is named "generic11.ifa" because your AV doesn't know if it is a trojan, it just thinks it might be.
I don't know why you can no longer access your emails.

IIRC AV software does tend to class the sponsor as a trojan because it gets information from a web server (for which ads to display)
