To "Uninstall" Messenger completely, cut and paste the line below
into your Start, Run box and press enter
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
As to the icon, it shows itself so you can visually see network
traffic. One "Little" monitor window represents Inbounds and
the other Outbound traffic. Just go to Control Panel, Network
Connections - Right Click on your Local Area Connection icon.
Take Properties. At the bottom of the details box will be two
check boxes. Uncheck both, if you don't wish to have the icon
present in the Notification Area (By the Time display). Apply,
OK...to close out the Windows.
