force upgrade (false update) of windows live messenger

MSN live messenger broke for almost a week, cause I see no reasons to upgrade. And I cant use MSN until I install the compulsory upgrade. But, I am fine, I can still use gtalk. Until just now, after getting lots of questions asking where I am. I finally upgrade from I-cant-remember-version to who-really-knows-what-version-now. Took about 10mins and I finally realised what this false upgrade really was. At the end of the installation, I was prompt to set bing (bing is not google) as default search engine and MSN as as default homepage. Trying to shove bing n MSN nonsense into my laptop. Essentially, theres nothing new with the latest live messenger! Nice try MS.

Consolation to that theres nothing new, those disrupting MSN ads are still removable with http://www.google.com/search?q=block+msn+ads
