Msmsgs.exe won't go away

I have disabled MSN Messenger at start up and I have checked “don’t run minimized” but msmsgs.exe keeps showing up in my Task List. I end the process and a few minutes later it starts back. I noticed it when I was playing a game….someone was trying to talk to me but I did not have MSN running but it popped up anyway. I’m running WindowsXP…… I want to keep MSN Messenger but I do not want it to run all the time.

thats the messenger service (not MSN messenger). you will need to disable that service in the admin controls.

Get trillian. It has MSN messenger in it, and it's free.

You can never get rid of messenger. Even if you uninstall it through the control panel, it does nothing. I love uninstalling messenger though. The spyware filled crap-hole of a thing it is. (Read new on the newest version and it is filled with spyware and ads.) C:\Program Files\Messenger. DELETE!

Solves my problems and I talk to my friend on AIM MSN ICQ and YAHOO with one program: Trillian.
