i have uninstalled msn messenger, few days ago (the lastest version) from add/remove programs but the icons are still on browser and loads of files still come up when i run a search.
the messenger that is on is an old version from around 2003...
but when i go into add/remove programs its not in there...

It should remove files which un-installed programs leavee behind.
If not, they may just be shortcuts in the browser you can manualy delete. (right click then maybe?)
What browser are you using?0 -
it could also be windows messenger, a version that come pre-installed with windows.
you need to remove this from add/remove windows components under add/remove programs.Ever stop to think and forget to start again?0 -
