How to disable/uninstall MSN Messenger

[Sunita Kapoor]

Hi, how is everybody doing,

I am sure this has been asked before but I could not find the response using
the search function:

How can I uninstall/disable MSN messenger? This keeps popping up every now
and then on this machine!

Thanks in anticipation.

Everybody have a very nice day!

However, you worry me when you talk about it popping up now and then. If you
are referring to the Messenger Service, receiving popups here is a big deal:
it indicates that you are running completely exposed on the Internet, which
is not a safe place. Turn on the XP Firewall:
