Greetings Larry,
Well, some application is starting it, which is the reason why you can't close it (since the
application in question must still be active).
A little process of elimination by ending processes in the Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del,
Processes tab) and then trying to close Messenger each time should allow you to figure out
which application it is.
