Hey guys,

I woke up this morning to a horrible shock! I logged onto messenger and now there's this crazy side bar to the left with a terrible little anime-type looking dude who wants me to spend money creating bad avatars. Does messenger plus have any sort of functionality/hack that i can use to get rid of this whole bar? It also has the MSN alerts tab there which I'm not so fond of.
