Windows live messenger is okay, but a bulky program for an instant messenger.
As a linux user a fast and popular instant messaging program is gaim, a windows version is also available. The program is small and works well, constantly being developed an added bonus is that you can connect to multiple accounts so you can connect msn, aim, yahoo messenger accounts and more.
Check it out here: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

You can download ccleaner for free here: http://bit.ly/1Bk5V5C
First open CCleaner
Go to the Cleaner tab and you will be confronted by a very confusing lineup of checkboxes.
To make this brief, below is my recommended setup:
Under internet explorer check temporary internet files, cookies, and last download location. Most users don't really need this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a maybe, but you don't want to lose bookmarked sites. You can normally leave Windows Explorer, System, and Advanced alone.
Run CCleaner and it will start deleting files.
afterward it will present you with a list of the files deleted, you really don't need to go through it as it will be several pages long.
The registry cleaner is recommended for slightly more advanced users. Use it after uninstalling programs as they will often leave behind incorrect registry entries.
If you decide to run Registry cleaner then review the items detected and always back up the registry (I keep a folder aside for this)
The Tools tab lets you uninstall programs and set startup programs. Why do you need this if Windows has all of these features? Especially with Vista Home Ed. The windows defender software explorer( startup programs) doesn't pick up some entries (however software explorer is easier to use).
Using CCleaner to uninstall programs and then check for leftover registry entries takes less time.
Under Options you can determine how CCleaner cleans your files. I leave this alone.

AOL messenger seems to be the best. Its simple yet has alot of features. The problem with MSN is that it has a lot of background programs running so it tends to slow down your computer a bit but It fine.

All messengers are good, but the one which does not slow down your computer is AIM. But the best one is Yahoo.

MSN! How much is that really going to slow down your PC? What are you using your PC for?? CPU usage for any instant messenger is negligible, unless you wanna talk to 100 people at the same time!!!!!!!!!!

They're all going to slow down your computer some, but I reccomend MSN Messenger because it has the least amount of security holes and other problems.

I really like Google Talk. I haven't found that it has slowed down my computer too much.
