intel

Start, Control Panel Add/Remove Programs

Emmy

Thanks intel but the programme isn't on the list...where else do I look? It is a remote assistance programme

intel

Thats Windows Messenger its part of XP for remote assistance
why do you want to remove this?

Emmy

It is myy sister, someone has installed it on her computer and sent themselves an invite for remote help....she doesn't want it and she certainly doesn't want remaote help from someone from there computer...... does that make sense?

intel

Sort of, But if someone sends you an invite, you have two options Accept or Decline.

If she logs off the PC and then back on that will cut the connection, or you can
also regain the control of your PC so whoever has control you can cut them off
at any time, And they only get control if you agree.

intel

If you are sure you want to kill it do this.

1) Go to Start > Run

2) Type this exact command (you might want to copy paste):

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%INFmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Have a look at the options set in Start => Control Panel => System => Remote and see if those are what have been changed...

Yep sorry you can stop assistance here aswell.

Emmy

When they was setting up her computer they sent themselves an invite without asking her, and said oh...I can move your mouse when I am at my house...I get to see your screen in a little box on my screen!!!! OMG !!

Yeah I did remote assistance with another user on this site last night (bethom)
to install some difficult software, there is an option to cut the connection (regain control) at any time, they probably new this and were showing off..

Ive done remote assist for 4years now even when it was in its infancy
and even then the option to terminate the connection was there then.
