How do I uninstall msn messenger?

  • I recently go a virus on msn Messenger, and I'd like to uninstall it then re download it. Maybe the virus will disappear if i do that?

  • Answer:

    No, it's too late to uninstall MSN. Your best option is to download a free antivirus: http://free.avg.com/ or http://www.avira.com/ and perform a scan to clean it. After the cleaning, I'd suggest you to install an anti-malware tool and run it every few days. www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

The virus won't disappear. You need to update your antivirus program and clean the virus out. If MSN is broken beyond repair by the virus the cleanest way to get rid of it is in the Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs. In there is a Add/Remove Windows Components which you can uninstall/reinstall MSN from. You may also want to look into a program called Pidgin. It can handle MSN (along with Yahoo! Messanger, Google Talk, IRC, QQ, etc.) and has plugins that help prevent a virus from infesting it. I provided the link bellow.

Control Panel, Programs & Features, and looks for MSN Messenger and click uninstall. Should work.

Click the MSN Messenger icon in the taskbar, and then click Exit. Click the Windows Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select MSN Messenger from the list and click the Add/Remove button.

Hi. I got that virus too, and uninstalling and then reinstalling the program doesn't work. But if you really want to do it, all you have to do is go to Control Panel, click on Add and remove Programs, and scroll down the list until you find msn. Then click on uninstall. It's that Easy!

you can try to go into my computer and delete it, but usually, these type of software dont let you delete after you sign up.
