flamtech Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 In the notification area on my taskbar, I have a Windows Messenger (Ver 4.7 (4.7.3001)) and MSN Messanger (Ver 7.5 (Build 7.5.0306)) icons. If I go to CCleaner, Uninstall, I only find MSN Messenger 7.5 to uninstall and not 4.7. How can I get rid of it? I am running Win XP Pro.

Tarun Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Windows Messenger is actually useful to have installed, believe it or not. As you can have Remote Assistance done to your computer should you ever need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
