I cannot uninstall yahoo instant messenger
I cannot uninstall yahoo instant messenger. I have seen the answers regarding going to the control panel and simply clicking on "yahoo instant messenger" . However, when I go to control panel there is no program titled "yahoo instant messenger" I do have a listing for "Yahoo browser services" but it is a very large file (120 mb) and I am afraid it contains more than the instant messenger software.

Perhaps I should note I am signed up to Verizon DSL and that comes with yahoo
I hope you can help as I believe instant messenger is causing problems.

Operating system is windows XP
Thank you for any help you can offer.

3. select yahoo messenger
4. then remove

Yes, I did all the right steps but there is NO LISTING for yahoo instant messenger under the add /remove populated list. That's the gist of the problem. I know how to remove a program but in my case there is NO LISTING TITLED YAHOO INSTANT MESSENGER!
