O.P. How can I remove the "Fix Your PC" button that's suddenly appeared?
Hi.

I just logged on today and there's suddenly a "Fix Your PC" button appeared at the top of the contact list window next to the Messenger Plus button. How can we remove this? I assume it's been added by Messenger Plus? If it has, I don't appreciate it being added. I did not ask for that and did not give permission for it to appear there.

If not, has anyone got any idea where it came from and how I can remove it?

Thank you

Edit: Here is what the button looks like:

And when you click it, this window appears:

Edit 2: I have found a way, but it also removes the Messenger Plus logo. Go to: Preferences > Messenger, under Contact List Customization, uncheck Add Messenger Plus! buttons in the contact list and contact cards. Shame that's the only way to do it though... Having the normal buttons is handy! Anyone know just how to remove the "Fix Your PC" button instead? Thanks.

If it is messenger plus it will be the sponsor programme. Which is only installed if you say yes.

Just for my own knowledge, is that something that is only there if you install the sponsor? or is that something different?

Option is there regardless of sponsor installing or not. It's checked by default (which in my opinion seems the only reason why someone would use it, PATCHOU WHAT'S HAPPENING :()
