Huh?  Sponsor Program is a PARASITE!
The sponsor program is a PARASITE. Do a search for LOP and see what kind of wonderful thing is now installed on your system.

You don't even NEED to allow the sponsor program to install -- all you need to do is allow the Messenger Plus "Update" to run and you're INFECTED!

This is a PARASITE, a VIRUS, a TROJAN. Unless, of course you WANT to have new toolbars TAKING OVER your system and your screen. TOP AND BOTTOM.

I WAS happy with the application until I ran this 'update' and suddenly found my system INFECTED. It was only after doing a search for spyware and parasites that I finally discovered that Messenger Plus was the CAUSE.

If infecected, just try <Ctrl><Alt><Del> to pull up "Task Manager" -- you'll see two processes that LOOK like Internet Explorer -- try to kill them -- JUST TRY -- and you'll see that the bastards won't DIE.

I am VERY disappointed by this kind of infection being placed on my system by what APPEARS to be an honest and legitimate program that Messenger Plus 'professes' to be.

I have BANNED Messenger Plus from being installed on any computers in my organization and recommend you do the SAME!

Of course, this post will probably be GONE by the time I hit the Post button -- however, it needed to be said. DON'T INSTALL THIS PARASITE! You will be SORRY!
