How do I remove messenger from my system? It keeps
crashing my computer. I tried to go to run/msconfig and
turn it off, but it keeps trying to restart. When it
does that, it disconnects my internet connection, and
then my system freezes up. I want it gone!
 
Greetings Tamara,

To remove it completely, for Windows Messenger 4.7, close down Messenger if it's running
(right click the messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then
click the start button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,
