Can't sign out of messenger

Someone used my pc months ago, and unknown to me signed in to messenger.
Well I've never used the **!!** thing before and I have no intention of
doing so.
My problem is it keeps popping up with people trying to contact the sole
previous user.
I've tried close, exit and still it keeps coming back.
Now I've uninstalled the damn thing but still people are popping up but with
their email address followed by "conversation"
How the hell can I sign out?
I can't start a conversation with the callers as it's in Thai and I have no
idea (although my XP is English).
Any help please?
TIA

Hi, you can disable the messenger feature by going to.....start run
MSConfig click on start up tab scroll to msnmgr and uncheck then exit
and reboot system
on reboot you will see selective start up aknowledge it ..put check in the
box and close......that will stop your msnmgr from running.
as for uninstalling it you can go to start control panel add/remove and
remove it from there.

Thanks for your reply.
However, I ran msconfig but there was no msnmgr listed.
I had already removed Messenger in the add remove programs but this alert
"still" keeps coming up when people try to contact the previous user.
Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Ewan
