Now you are getting a hijacker confused with a trojan.
Basicly the Messenger Plus!' sponsor program is a "browser hijacker", but not a trojan.
And if you do not accept to install the sponsor, you get a clean version of MsgPlus! without adware/sponsor.

Definition of "Browser hijacker":
Applications that attempt to take control over a user's home page or desktop icons, resetting them to a pre-determined website destination.
