go to start the settings the control panel find add remove programs then find Messenger Plus and uninstall it.......Then re-install it and DO NOT accept the sponser to install on your machine.... Hope this helps :D

thanks,
but it doesn´t help. i'ved searched the forum a lot. in the add/remove programs in win98 doesn´t appear the messenger plus. as well in the directory in program files it does not have the uninstall icon.
do you have other suggestions?

Hi Filipe,

It seems while installing Messenger Plus! you have installed the sponsor program by mistake: you selected I ACCEPT, install the sponsor in the installation program. Please note this is not spyware it's simply a small search bar for Internet Explorer so Patchou (the creator of Messenger Plus!)  so he can make a living off it...

If before doing the below you have attempted to remove the sponsor program by any other method, like spyware and adware removal tools, messed around in the registry or tried to delete files you must install Messenger Plus! again with the sponsor program before doing this...

To uninstall it go to Add/Remove Programs in the control panel and double click on "Messenger Plus!" (or click on Remove). Then "Messenger Plus! - Setup" is displayed.
Click on the Uninstall button. after a couple of seconds, the program will ask you if you want to keep your preferences, it is suggested to say "Yes".
Then you'll be asked to type in the number displayed in the box then click Uninstall.
Now you must click Yes when asked to confirm the uninstall...If you're asked to close Internet explorer or any program do so. Now restart your computer and the sponsor program will be gone.

In all Windows versions Messenger Plus! should appear on the add/remove programs window...make sure by carefully going through the list...are you using Messenger Plus! 3?

So if I read correctly, Messenger Plus! is not listed in your Add/Remove Programs window. I would try reinstalling Plus! to see if its in there afterwards...
So, Fraisie.net is empty atm. I\'m trying to come up with something cool to put on it, and I will!
