I wish to somehow disable Windows Messenger Service as I
do not and will not be using it.
I keep getting the following message from Norton's
Internet Security Tracker as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmga.exe is preparing to
access the Internet."
This is happening approx every 10 seconds and is very
irritating as well as disruptive whilst I am playing
games.
I am also worried that it is creating another "well
Known" port for a possible unauthorized entry.
Have tried some of the suggestions from the Knowledge
Database and this newsgroup, with the exception of
altering the Registry (which I will attempt as a last
resort).
Hoping you can assist me in the quest to fully disable
this program,

Regards: Gavin Pattle
