Yahoo Messenger

[primula]

Hi

Can someone tell me how to permanently remove Yahoo Messenger - I have already removed it from my Control Panel and the icon, but it is still showing as a little smiling face on the taskbar and pops up each time I switch on my Internet. I am with BT and use BT Broadband Yahoo?

I thought when I removed it from my Control Panel it would not return, but like a bad name, it has.

Thanks, in advance, to all who answer.

this might be worth trying

When 'Add/Remove Programs' fails, do this to remove Yahoo Messenger from your pc:

CLOSE the Yahoo! Messenger application if you currently have it running. Make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are CLOSED.

Go to your desktop and double-click "My Computer."

Click the "C:" drive.

Go to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!

Highlight the Yahoo! Messenger folder and press the 'Delete' key on your keyboard.

DEFRAG your computer files to remove those empty spaces resulting from the deletion.

it will unistall in add remove prog
defrag does not get rid of unwanted crap on your comp
either download a simple to use free prog called "cc cleaner" to do that you can also uninstall progs from there too or go to my computer right click drive "c" and click on properties and click on disc clean up
