Windows MSN Messenger today announced it will be closing down it's popular service after it was slammed by Labour MP's for inciting paedophiles on the world wide web.

This comes as parents across Europe called for the 10 year old service to be closed after a 8 year old girl was lured into meeting a 34 year old known paedophile.

The service will terminate on November 18th,and all accounts will be removed from the system.

It isn't the first time that MSN have closed services due to child abuse ;

MSN is closing all its chatrooms in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and most of Asia from 14 October, and changing the way others are operated globally.

"As a responsible leader we feel it necessary to make these changes because online chat services are increasingly being misused," it said.

Children's charities welcomed the move as "momentous" and said they saw it as a big step towards protecting young web users, but some have criticised the decision.
