Error: Headers already sent

I get this error message everytime when activating the plugin:

“The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”

Then when working in other areas of the admin (adding new posts, editing pages, changing plugins, etc.) I receive messages like these:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/[folder]/public_html/[folder]/wp-content/plugins/quicksand-jquery-post-filter/quicksand_functions.php:495) in /home2/[folder]/public_html/[folder]/wp-admin/post.php on line 233

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home2/[folder]/public_html/[folder]/wp-content/plugins/quicksand-jquery-post-filter/quicksand_functions.php:495) in /home2/[folder]/public_html/[folder]/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

Have tried the following:
deactivated all plugins
different themes (including defaults like twentyten)

Nothing’s helped so far.

Any ideas?
