There is a way to uninstall MSN messenger, if it is not needed. I did this on my machine and i have had no problems what so ever.

Put this command line in the Run command window (to get there click on Start then click on RUN)

Enter this entire string.

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


This string will uninstall MSN messenger from the computer.


Link was found on the internet by searching on google.

Hi, I tried this but it's not working... For some reasons, the HTTP function still can connect. There is around 50 host where the client can connect to... Any other ideas?
