I have unchecked "Run this program when Windows starts" but it still starts
when I login to Windows. How do I stop this?
Windowss XP Pro. Win Msgr 4.7, MSN Messenger 6.1
Thanks.

Greetings Don,
Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added an
"instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause this
behavior. To stop it, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the Norton Antivirus icon in the
System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open Norton Antivirus'), click Options,
then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger and click OK.
