hey dude,
i agree its not that big a deal - you just have to use the 3 finger salute if you want to exit messenger.
i can honestly say ive never installed any plugins (or sponsor programs either
)
can i assume from the lack of posts in the forum this in no way affects msn?
i had avoided that because people always said they got pop ups and i have never had one with windows messenger (too lame to flame probably )
