What is the Messenger Plus! add-on, anyway?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Regarding the two instances of Windows Messenger, could that be a result of having Trillian running (assuming your Trillian is configured to use Windows Messenger)? Just thinking out loud, I've nver used Trillian myself.
Or, hypothesizing further, could you still have both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger installed on your PC? Because they are two different things, WM comes as part of XP but downloading and installing the newest version of MSNM doesn't remove WM. Check your add/remove programs.

You can also go to Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs, then select "option Windows components" from the box on the side. Then just untick the Windows Messenger box.
Although to be honest, Real and it's ilk are far worse, as they're the sort of naughty little programs that check the internet constantly and cause system instability.
