I NEVER use Messenger, and as far as I can tell will never want to. Accordingly, I've taken such steps as I can think of to prevent it ever opening, from start Menu, on booting, or from systray. Nevertheless, every day on connecting to the internet, I get some b*00*y message from Micro**** tellin me that it's out of date, insecure, and needs updating. (BTW, I keep my main XP installation up to date properly).

Can someone advise me me how to kil this Fookin' application for ever, please??

TIA

Phil

I think you're referring to Windows Messenger, which comes as part of the Windows XP operating system.

Check this thread out (by my mate D3VIANCE who helped me rid my PC of the beast) :D

Much obliged, Ossifer!!!!
