I followed part of the uninstall sponser instructions, and when I choose remove the sponser it ran:
"C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Dead math bend\SendErrorWeb.exe",
which opened internet explorer, and that internet explorer asked me to type some numbers (which I couldn't read very well, I tried again a few times, but it went away). Now there is no option to uninstall the sponser program.
Install Plus! again, WITH the sponsor program. You must enter the numbers correctly to uninstall it properly..

The sponsor uninstall run by Plus! IS the
standalone version. Plus! itself does not contain any sponsor related material, only the standalone installer, and standalone uninstaller.

please don't...
The files come from the sponsor program of Plus! And to properly uninstall the sponsor run the uninstaller.

Never use system restore to "roll back" an installation of a program. System Restore is not a magical backup tool. It is meant for when Windows doesn't start up properly anymore and other severe things...
You can use it to roll back a program, but _only_ if you explicitly made a restore point _right before_ you installed the program.
System restore will restore more than just the program files, it is called 'system' restore because it mostly rolls back system files. And many of those files are constantly changed by simple Windows usage.
In other words, using system restore to roll back a program will most likely roll back more things than you want, especially if it is some days old.

Spybot search and destroy
do scans with them and if it doesnt find any we know its not that 
No, to properly uninstall the sponsor you need to run the uninstaller from Plus!. In almost all cases, anti-virus software do not remove the sponsor completely (eventhough you wont 'see' it anymore popping up) or do more damage.

As for the things running on your computer, I highly doubt that this is the sponsor.
No-one has told me yet where the sponser program installs, what it is named, or any other identifying information about it. Could I get some details?
You can read the detailed info in the EULA of the sponsor, which is presented to you when you install Plus!.
The sponsor is from C2Media which provides ads... (note: ads, not spyware!)
To all the other people in this thread: those files ARE from the sponsor, they are ads from the affiliates of C2Media. Please do not claim it is impossible that they come from the sponsor.

It's interesting to note that nobody has linked to this thread, Started and maintained by Patchou himself, which explains how to remove the sponsor program.
If after removing the sponsor program, using the method in the thread I linked to above, deosn't help then try using some of the other methods listed above.
