For some reason user may need to completly uninstall MSN Messenger from its computer, but found that isn't so easy as it should be.

Here is a detailed instructions how to delete MSN Messenger:

1. Go to "Start", "Control Panel".

2. Double click on "Add or remove programs", then choose the option "Add/remove windows components" on the left side and check MSN Messenger to remove.

Note, you may see two services that look similar. One is Windows Messenger and the other MSN. Windows messenger can also be removed if you are getting a lot of unwanted popup boxes with the words "Messenger Service" at the top.

1. Go to "Start", "Run". type the following line (without quotes):

"RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"
