>Shoot the Messenger will turn off the "Messenger
Service", but it won't turn off "Windows

Windows Messenger, open it up (click

Tools, Options, Preferences tab and
>uncheck 'Run this Program when Windows starts' or 'Run
Windows Messenger when Windows starts'
>(depending on version) as well as 'Allow this program to
run in the background' or 'Allow
>Windows Messenger to run in the background' (depending on
version).

(Right-click on the Norton Antivirus

Instant Messenger and click OK.
