Muuhhhh.

Microsoft Messenger and MSN Messenger are completely different things, fool.
Microsoft Messenger is the built in standard on Win XP etc, and is currently at v4.1 or something.
MSN Messenger is the one you download.

THere is a workaround this problem, other than using a firewall - run the msconfig utility, and under the "Services" tab, uncheck the "Messenger" service. It's not related to the Windows/MSN Messenger program.
