Everytime I click on someone that I want to IM I can't. It doenst let me have a conversation! I can't even type a word! it just keeps sending them a link to download messaging-names.com. What can I do to get rid of it??

Have you gone Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Remove the program.

Then run virus and spyware scans to ensure it has been removed..well as much as possible

Well this is what their help pages say

You may uninstall the software by using "Add/Remove Programs" in your control panel.

Else failing what has been stated here, I would suggest going to them about it and telling them and asking them to fix it up.
