msn messenger...

but it was already coming on with it set to disable...

eh.. screw it, i'll just uninstall the thing.

are you sure it's windows messenger? it must be msn messenger. they are both completely different. windows messenger comes installed by default on your computer. if you go into add/remove programs, is msn messenger on the list?

nope, msn messenger isn't on the list.

anyway, i just removed windows messenger from the windows components.

Try getting Mirander , it's much more efficent and better.

Ok this is really strange.

In the installed programs list, there is no MSN messener or windows messenger.

Under 'installed windows components' Windows messenger is unchecked.

Under services, windows messenger is unchecked.

THere is no startup item for it...

Yet i'm still connected to it somehow!!

Sounds confusing, tino . . . hope it gets better?

oh dear. . .
that is what happened to my Aunty.
i wish i knew how to help.
but i'm fresh out.

you can try to go to.. www.mess.be
and see if anyone else had concerns about it

It must be because microsoft didn't check their code for bugs!

I'm thinking it might have to do with automatic updates.... I'll disable that i guess.

well i figured out how to not associate a .NET passport with my windows account so hopefully that took care of it.
