    I would suggest a repair install or restoring with restore disks or the computers built in system recovery if it has a recovery partition.

    You may see if Malwarebytes or MSE may be able to help you.

    Did you try as previously suggested - Revo Uninstaller?

    Other than a System Restore, I do not know what to do. :S

    This was all I could find on this problem.

    Start
    Control Panel
    Programs
    Programs and Features
    Windows Live Essentials
    Click change/remove
    It will then give you the option to pick which ''essentials" you want to remove. Ex:Messenger, Mail, Photo

    Or Try this:

    1/ Click the Start button
    2/ When the Start menu opens look to the Right of the menu and you should see an option called 'Run'
    3/ Click on Run to open the Run dialogue box
    4/ In the Run dialogue box type: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
    5/ Next press the OK button
    6/ If all goes well you will be asked to restart your computer. Click Yes to restart
    7/ Hopefully Messenger should now be removed

    Incidentally you might find it easier to 'copy and paste' the above command line into the Run dialogue box rather than typing it yourself.

    Or you can try this third party Windows Live Messenger Uninstaller.

    Or you can try the Windows Live Solution Center.
