how do I eliminate windows messenger?

-----Original Message-----
Help -

An annoying, frankly offensive and utterly useless
component "Windows Messenger" has rendered this
expensive
piece of machinery a playground for two-bit uneducated
solicitors to assail me every moment of every hour of
every day. I feel this program's inclusion in my
hardware warrants a class-action lawsuit. How dare you
slight me, the consumer, paying substantial money for a
piece of equipment I assumed would serve my needs, by
deliberately inserting a device whose only purpose is to
harass me with an intensity and frequency unrivalled in
the history of free enterprise? What's more, the little
******* seems to be specifically engineered to flaunt
any
attempt at eliminating it from the mainframe
altogether.
In the context of an operating system whose obvious
advantage is the simplicity and ease with which it
executes one's commands, it is a slap in my face as a
consumer to find nothing even remotely resembling a
means
of erasing this foul virus. Do solicitors fancy I
bought
my computer for their sake? Windows Messenger by its
very presence suggests the answer is yes. I want it
off,
off, OFF, do you hear?? Someone in your department tell
me how the hell to erase this thing or I will become the
most sinister, evil antagonist your company has ever
encountered.

Thanks and have a great day,

Josh - ditto to your comments. If you happen to get
any response with a solution, I would be most grateful if
you would forward it to me. I am at my wits end with
this.
