There is someone on my Network uses a software to spy on network members'
conversations, I think it called "IM Monitor MSN Spy". So, How can I prevent
him from spying on my conversations. Is there an antispy can be used in this
case to stop him?

As it appears to be sniffing network traffic and saving a log of MSN IM packets it is not really possible to stop it.
As you can't encrypt the IM traffic you can't foil them that way.

Thanks Mark. I'm on a LAN (DSL), and we r connected to the internet through a
router. and he depends on my IP to spy on me. I installed ZoneAlarm Security
Suite, can it help?

No.

The packets are being read from the wire. Firewalls can't help. Once you send data ontp the LAN anyone can read it.
If you could encrypt the traffic it would stop it but MSN doesn't support that AFAIK.

Why not go and tell him to quit doing it or report him, assuming it is a workplace and it is unauthorised snooping.

Thanks Jonathan, just my contacts may not install Simp. Is there another way
just for me to use?
