Thanks a lot!!!
Such a long time that I wanted to get rid of this Spyware! - If it isn't
spyware, let Microsoft explain me why it's using sometimes 8% of my
processor (XP 3300+) without that I've ever used it, and without doing
anything on my computer.

Regards,
Patrick

Simon,

It does not take much of the hard disk space. If you want to
uninstall/disable Windows Messenger, see:

This there any more advise for delete the Windows messenger to save more
space, disable the messenger wasn't good enough, I shoud say the disable
function not working even I follow the step by step page from the Microsoft
suppport site,
or there is a different version so we need to use different step?
