new to mac.. msn box keeps showing up on desktop

[mcmacmcmac]

Hey, hope this isn't too silly a question.. I installed msn messenger for mac, but whenever i open it the white disk box thing pops up on the desktop and it doesn't let me trash it while msn is open, only lets me "eject" it once i close msn. Is this normal, does this thing have to popup every time, and if so can i make it go away by itself when i close msn. I'm on tiger by the way..

To install properly: Open the white box, drag the MSN app inside it to the Applications folder, drag the white box and dmg file to the trash

I recommend using Adium over Microsoft's product

ahhh, brilliant thanks!

considering i just use msn, i thought adium would be overkill.. should i still go with adium?

How would Adium be overkill?

Adium is MUCH better, personally I use this skin, but there are plenty. MSN often has problems with updates etc.

There is also Mercury if you want video

To uninstall MSN, just drag it to the trash from the Applications folder (not while its open)
