Is it good to use XP-antispy to uninstall Windows Messenger completely?

TIA

Greetings Mad,

I wouldn't recommend XP-antispy to do anything -- it's been my personal experience with users
that it just causes problems.

If you really want to remove Windows Messenger, close down Messenger if it's running (right
click the messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click
the start button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):

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

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,
