Yeah its easy. Go to the start button, type services.msc in the Run box.\n\nYou will see a window with a list of service names. Pick the one named Messenger, and rightclick on it. Choose Properties. In the Startup Type box choose Disabled. Then click Ok and right-click on Messenger again and pick Stop.\n\nIt looks like a lot but its really simple.

Either disable the messenger service or install a firewall.\n\nTo disable the messenger service:\nRight click on my computer, go to manage.\nSelect services and applications on the left side of the screen.\nChoose services, select messenger, double click and change the startup type to disabled.\n\nThe other option is to install a firewall (or a home router). The problem is that people will take advantage of the open messenger service to send spam. You can block it if they don't have direct access to your computer.

Win XP comes with windows Messenger already installed. what u can do is go to Administrative Tools and then services and then stop the Messenger service. If u have urself installed WIndows Messenger's latest version like 7.0 etc. u can use control panel-add remove programs to remove the messenger. -\nPlease exercise caution before taking this step.

Delete any message from email addresses you dont know, that's part of the cure, you could call tech support and ask them to help you change your user name, or email address, and do not surf in doubtful websites, like porn or "free download" stuff, chatrooms, etc, never click on advertisings when you get pop-ups while surfing, which you can actually block by right-clicking on the task bar of the internet explorer window, and choose "turn-on pop-up blocker"

That annoying pop up is actually either spyware or adware - the only way to get rid of it is to download a spyware sweeper and then to do a scan to remove it.\n\nFor a quick fix you can try this: WIN XP\n\nClick start > run > type "msconfig" > click on furthest right startup > disable all > click ok or apply > restart your computer\n\nThis msconfig is totaly reversable and will stop the icons loading up when you start windows - it will not delete it\n\nhope this helps

Click "Start" in the bottom left corner, Look for something called "Control Panel" and double-click it. Then from there, find something that says "Add/Remove Programs" or something along those lines...Look at the list, find the Messenger and remove it. If you neet a more technical answer, I can give you one. Lol.
