Get a copy of Spybot Search & Destroy.

Install and update it.

Run in an Admin account (and later again in every Limited User Account),
In the left pane, click on Immunize,
Use the Mode->Advanced menu to access Tools (on the left pane).
Check the box (System Startup) and then click on that label in the left pane.

In the center column are the names of the services, the right column is the path to the program.

Look for Messenger and UNCHECK the box in the left column. This will disable
MS Messenger.
Close the window.

Repeat for each Limited User account.
