Answer 1

Windows LIVE Messenger can be uninstalled through Add/Remove Programs, Windows Messenger shortcuts can be removed but it's part of Windows itself so it can't be "fully" removed.

Answer 2

If it's not in Add/Remove programs (or Programs and Features in Vista), then you have nothing to worry about.

That windows component (the messenger service more than likely) you're referring to is part of the OS and cannot be uninstalled. It can be disabled, but that really won't make a difference in your case, as those components are used for systems that message each other within a LAN (basically). It has nothing to do with chatting with friends.

Update:

So you said it's not in Add/Remove Programs. Where do you see it say Live Messenger?

Answer 3
