No, that's MSN messenger... Windows Messenger is the built in messaging service (net send) for use over networks. The only trouble is that it can be hijacked from outside your network. We use it quite extensively at work, and it can be very useful, and it's properly firewalled out, so we don't get any spam, which is nice. On a stand-alone pc or a small home network you won't need it though.

I would not let it access unless you have a specific need to.
