Hello,
The best tool I have found for removing Spyware/Trojans are Scan Spyware, download it here: http://www.scanspyware.net/
It is not free, but at least you can scan with the unregistered version, and it will notify you of problem areas. Quite cheap to buy the license, and it works a lot better than the freebies, like Adaware....
Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Messenger Plus is a decent app and you have the option during install to install their advertisement features.
You can't really get mad at an app for installing ad ware when you are given the choice to install that feature. Messenger Plus works just fine without the ad ware and even will block the ads that stock messenger puts on the screen.
