Someone a while back inquired about the process below, so I figured I'd 
forward it to the list.

  From an e-list! GOOD news for those needing to get rid of this trojan!

The NTBUGTRAQ list had some recent postings on this topic, with links to two
articles in The Register. One article tells how to make MSN Messenger
appear
on the Add/Remove Programs control panel, so you can uninstall it cleanly.
The other tells how to disable MSN Messenger without removing it. Neither
option is bullet-proof, because it is only a matter of time before MS
releases a patch that re-installs or re-enables Messenger.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
