Recently the MSN Messenger has appeared on my system tray and it
periodically pops up telling me that I need an important security update. I
don't actually use MSN Messenger, and having it there is probably an
unnecessary security risk. How do I get rid of it so its not running on my
system tray - or better still - how do I eradicate it from my system?

Hello!
1. shut down messenger if it's running
2. start
3. run

Type or paste the following command into the run dialogue box:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Now just click the "OK" button and messenger will uninstall
itself. This doesn't just prevent it from running, but
get's it off your PC.
