MSN Messenger Service tray application.

Recommendation :
Disable or Delete with The Ultimate Troubleshooter if you do not use the MSN Messenger Service. Alternatively, you can go into the "Tools \ Options \ Preferences" menu option within Messenger and uncheck "Run when Windows starts".

A good source for Task Manager processes, alphabetized:
