thanks for the quick reply but the chat i'm referring to is winchat.exe i'm not sure if this is the messenger you're referring to :)

What windows? This is a very old app to allow chat across a lan.

Hmm more digging, while it appeared in win95 and NT, it is still available and ships with XP

Why do you want to kill it?

Wouldnt simply removing the application work?
