Greetings Rob,

You can fully uninstall Messenger by:
First, close down Messenger (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,

I just got a new computer and Messenger is constantly accessing the net
! I've disabled it but it still attempts to access the net, hundreds of
times per hour according to Zone Alarm. My HD is constantly being
accessed and i'm getting quite annoyed.
