buckrogers

can someone help me?
i have a laptop and another computer connected to my computer , which are all connected to my router.
i am trying to stop msn from working on laptop, i have deleted it from laptop but it has been put back on.
i blocked it on the router, but that also stopped me from accessing the hotmail account from my computer.
does anyone know how to block or stop msn from running on a laptop so they cant connect to chat msn ??
thanks for any help

I've never had it reinstall itself before, I've uninstalled it via the control panel then access email via hotmail.com-or outlook, strange one.

sorry , what i meant to say that it was installed by my daughter when i removed it, i am trying to stop her from using msn on her laptop, as i think she is spending too much time on it and not enough on homework .

Is this what you are looking for: -

It won't stop her using the online version.

You could also make a seperate user account for her that does not allow installation of programs.

i managed to block the windows live messenger (the new name for msn messenger) by blocking the Internet access for the 'msnmsgr.exe' file in my firewall
