This might have been caused by data corruption, a computer virus or other malicious software or the deletion of files or configuration entries. Manual removal is usually a solution but it requires lots of time with the danger of deleting data that is still needed on the system.

There are a few programs that can completely remove Windows Live Messenger from a computer system. These programs work in a similar fashion like the antivirus software removers that remove files and Registry entries from installed antivirus solutions from the computers system.

Here are the programs that can completely remove Windows Live Messenger:

Zap Messenger

Zap Messenger is a portable software program for the Windows operating system. It can not only uninstall Windows Live Messenger but also MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger 5.x. Zap Messenger requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0.

With all this in mind, I developed ZapMessenger – the one step tool to completely remove Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger 5.x. The first thing ZapMessenger will do is attempt to cleanly uninstall Messenger normally and if that fails for any reason, it will forcibly remove Messenger from the Windows Installer engine allowing you to reinstall at your leisure without hindrance.

Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller

Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller is another software program to remove Windows Live Messenger from the computer system. The portable program supports Windows Live Messenger and MSN Messenger installations which it can uninstall from the system.

Windows Live Messenger Deep Clean

The third program that can remove Windows Live Messenger is a tiny script which can be downloaded from Rapidshare. It will uninstall Windows Live Messenger and the Sign In Assistant including data and program folders, objects, contact store data, temp files and Registry keys.

Windows Messenger was the name of the program under Windows XP. Windows Vista users on the other hand worked with Windows Live Messenger on the other hand. Both programs came preinstalled with the operating system. The Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller has been designed to completely remove Windows Live Messenger from the operating system.

The program can be used to uninstall the initial version of Windows Live Messenger from the Windows operating system or uninstall another version of the instant messenger even if it is broken or otherwise damaged.

WLMUninstaller is pretty easy to use. Only one button needs to be pressed to uninstall Windows Live Messenger from the computer system.

The program will start uninstalling Windows Live Messenger once the uninstall button has been pressed. It will display information regarding that process in the interface.

Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller is a tiny portable software program. It can be downloaded straight from the developer’s website.
