Windows Messenger...

by John.Wilkinson Jul 29, 2006 7:50AM PDT

Windows Messenger is an instant messenger that is built into Windows, completely separate from MSN Messenger, and more of an annoyance than anything else. If you click here you'll find instructions for disabling and removing Windows Messenger, which should do the trick.

Hope this helps,
John
