More info?)
I'm using Messenger Plus all the time and all of my co-workers and friends
too, if you have a virus it's propbobly not from the messenger.
About the toolbar, when you're uninstalling the Messenger Plus, uninstall
all the information, plugins and personal information (Messneger plus). It
will not effect the MSN Messenger information.
Ufter you uninstall it delete the Messenger Plus folder from the program
files folder it's still exist there.
Make sure that when you uninstall it, your IE is closed.
After your uninstall, reboot and see if you have the toolbar.
Next you can install the messenger again without the sponser.
If you have a file: "...\Program Files\C2Media\Setup.exe",
delete the folder "C2Media"
