Not to my knowledge, since it aint required to run whilst using IE.

In fact, WinMsg uses IE for the SLL authentication.
Still, leave WinMsg installed: MSN depends on it, as do a variety of plugins (some of mine included).

I don't think so: it just allows you to launch it.
Microsoft seem to like making all their programs depend on parts of each other.
