Greetings,
This is probably just Windows Messenger in the background automatically logging you in.
You can simply disable Windows Messenger. To do so, open it up (click Start, then
Run, type "msmsgs" and click OK), click Tools, Options, Preferences tab and uncheck 'Run this
Program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts' (depending on
version) as well as 'Allow this program to run in the background' or 'Allow Windows Messenger
to run in the background' (depending on version).
However, as long as you don't mind losing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard or Application
Sharing within MSN Messenger (which you don't appear to be using anyway), you can simply
uninstall Windows Messenger by clicking the Start button, then click Run and type in
(copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,

You can always reinstall Windows Messenger later if you require it.
