XP Pro SP1 - I opened Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove
Windows Components, unselected Windows Messenger clicked
Next, it went through the uninstall process.
I rebooted the PC.
Went back into Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove
Windows Components, and it was still unchecked. I assumed
it was uninstalled.
However, when I opened Outlook (Office XP), guess
what popped up in my system tray? Windows Messenger.
I closed Outlook, right clicked the WM icon, chose Exit,
and it wouldn't Exit. It said something was open that needed
Windows Messenger.
I don't want this running on my PC. I thought I uninstalled it.
Add Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components
shows it uninstalled, so where did it come from, and how do I remove
this "virus"?
