Messenger\msmsgs.exe is preparing to access the Internet

Hello,

I recently downloaded a Windows Update that turned on my Messenger program
that I thought I'd gotten rid of. I don't not want that program, never use
it and would like it removed.It seemed to be inactive till that update.

My NAV is giving me this message in my log files every minute or so.

Can someone help me understand what Messenger is doing and how to
stop/delete/turn it off.

Thanks!

TN
