Ok, calm down. As previously mentioned, if you selected to NOT install the sponsor, then the sponsor was NOT installed.

After all this, if you run a scan with Microsoft AntiSpyware, yes, it tells you that MsgPlus! contains adware, it does not say that it has installed it on your system, because it hasn't :)

Don't use Microsoft Anti-spyware... it's still a beta (not a final version) and gives lots of false warnings... It will detect Messenger Plus! even if you didn't install the sponsor. As the other guys have told you, the sponsor is optional and won't install if you choose not to.
Check How to uninstall ad-ware/sponsor if you need more information.

If you mean MS Anti-Spyware gave you a warning, re-read what lopardo said...

This has been discussed many times before. The most short and logical reason is: not many people would/could pay for an MSN Messenger add-on.

Hack, hack, hack!

if you are a programmer which i do not think you are then you wouldent understand the post DLL Injection is used in programs like Msg Plus and (YTunnelPro) This is a example of programs that use DLL Injection!!! i did not say YTunnelPro relates to Msg Plus
