Wow, you are right! You might want to put this in the bug tracker. I don't think it should be this way.

Go to your MEMBERINFO template and remove this:

<if condition="$prepared['hasimdetails']">
                    <li class="thead<if condition="!$show['post_visitor_message'] AND !$show['pm'] AND !$show['email']"> first</if>">$vbphrase[instant_messaging]</li>
                    <if condition="$prepared['icq']">
                        <li class="vbmenu_option"><img class="alt2 inlineimg" alt="" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_icq.gif" />  <a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('icq', '$prepared[userid]', 500, 450); return false;"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[send_icq_message_to_x]</phrase></a></li>
                    </if>
                    <if condition="$prepared['aim']">
                        <li class="vbmenu_option"><img class="alt2 inlineimg" alt="" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/im_aim.gif" /> <a href="#" dir="ltr" onclick="imwindow('aim', '$prepared[userid]', 400, 200); return false;"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[send_aim_message_to_x]</phrase></a></li>
                    </if>
                    <if condition="$prepared['msn']">
