The Windows Messenger service and Microsoft Messenger are two different
entities. Unfortunately Microsoft picked very similar names. One is a
service and one is a program. Which one is causing the problem? Does the
Messenger service restart or does the Messenger program restart? If it's the
program some of the other posts in the thread tell you how to stop it. If
it's the service it's likely some malware has infected your computer.
