Oh dear .. you never read the End User Licence Agreement did you! You just
clicked and installed it without paying attention!
Well, firstly, don't use any kind of Spyware eradicator as that'll mess it
up. Uninstall Messenger Plus as you normally would. That will remove all
traces of the (optional) sponsor that you installed. Then run the Messenger
Plus installation again, this time *READ* the EULA and select the option
marked "No - I do not agree - Do NOT install the sponsor". That way, you'll
only get the Messenger Plus application installed and nothing else.
Lesson here is of course READ before you click!!
