To stop program opening when you logon, right click your START button and select Explore. Look in ALL USERS and each user logon under Programs for a STARTUP folder. Right click on the programs in the folder and select delete (these are shortcuts and do not delete the program). Do not delete or stop anti-virus or other needed programs, just those you mentioned.
If you do not want to MSN Messenger at all, it can be removed in add/remove programs (control panel).

you can use the msconfig tool to set what you want to start at login.

goto start->run->msconfig

once msconfig is up goto the startup tab. Under the startup tab find the
items that you no longer wish to startup when you login and then uncheck
them.
