    Solved

    Never mind I followed thisand solved it :)

    1.
    * 1

    Download and install the resource editing program.
    * 2

    Open the "Windows Live" folder. Within this folder is the "Messenger" folder; open it.
    * 3

    Right-click on the "msnmsgr.exe" file in this folder and click "Copy to folder" to make another copy of this file.
    * 4

    Open "msnmsgr.exe" in the resource editing program. Find where it says "Version Info -> 1 -> 1033" on the left side of the screen.
    * 5

    Find where it says Value "ProductVersion" on the right. The value will read "8.5.1302." Change this to "15.4.3502.0922"
    * 6

    Click "Compile Script."
    * 7

    Save the file and quit the resource editing program. The next time you open Windows Live Messenger, the update alert will not appear.
