Messener Plus comes with an
optional sponser program, which is probably the rogue program you are finding on your system. The easiest thing to do is simply uninstall Messenger Plus, and this
should remove the other stuff. If you want to install Messenger Plus without the sponsor program just run the installation, and pay careful attention to the installation options. There is an option somewhere along the way where it asks if you want to install the additional program or not - you can say no without any problem

This way you and your son can both get what you want hehehe
If you still have the unwanted program(s) on your system after removing Messenger Plus try using some anti-spyware programs to remove them. One such program is Ad-Aware, which you can get a basic free version of here:
