O.P. What's the deal
Ok, I'm annoyed.  I installed your program, which otherwise is good, except it's FILLED with spyware programs.  Tried to hijack my browser, added in it's own toolbar at the top, reorganized and added links to my favorites, and dropped a bunch of trackers on my computer.  I suggest checking your install file.

I suggest not accepting the sponser when you install the program ;)

Hiya! Welcome to the forums!

You simply installed the sponser program. Please folow my steps on how to un-install it:

1: Close  msn messenger.
2: Go to start, settings, add/remove programs
3. Pick Messenger Plus
4. Uninstall it completly, and save your preferences.
5. Re run the setup for messenger plus
6. DO NOT let the sponser program install on your computer

You are asked if you want to install or if you dont want to install the sponser program. So simply following those steps will help you. If you do not wish to install the Sponser program, that is no problem. You still get the FULL version and everything.

Easy to do, as it's a user agreement for the sponsor program.
