How to Cancel MSN Live Messenger
Windows Live Messenger -- sometimes also known as "MSN Live Messenger" or simply "MSN Messenger" -- is a desktop chat software program that allows you to chat in real-time with those you've designated as contacts. In the vast majority of cases, your Windows Live Messenger username is a Hotmail or MSN email address, so canceling Windows Live Messenger is as simple as closing the account you use with the service.
