A quick Google search for the GUID 963b125b-8b21-49a2-a3a8-e37092276531 shows that it refers to a browser plugin ("Browser Companion").
There is nothing special about it in terms of malware or whatever. It absoluty is not spyware either. It is installed because you have choosen to install it.
Also note that it could have been installed by many programs, aka it might not have been Messenger Plus!.

Either way, if it was installed by Plus! then, as said before, you have explicitly choosen to install it. The setup of Plus! will not install sponsor stuff automatically; you need to tick or untick (according to your choice) the checkboxes and confirm the installation of those sponsor tools/ads.
Nothing gets installed by force.

And in case it was installed by Plus!, then you can simply uninstall it by running the uninstaller of Plus! and by choosing "uninstall sponsor".
Or by searching for the uninstaller of that ad/toolbar in your "Add/Remove Programs" list in Windows (depends on what flavor of sponsor you have).

Also, that same Google search I refer to above also shows that this Browser Companion sometimes comes with its own uninstaller also.
Third, another way to uninstall, or at least disable, browser plugins is to go to your browser settings.

PS: To keep things somewhat organized, don't put two different subjects in the same thread. Also, please don't make duplicated threads about the same subject; post in the existing thread about that subject (referring to your posts here and here).
