msn messenger automatic sign in

[Craig]

either msn or windows messenger keeps signing me in
automatically, on the tools menu all boxes are checked
correctly as for this not to happen.
the only time i am aware that i am signed in is if i have
new mail or somebody sends me an instant message.there are
no icons on taskbar to alert me.
i am running windows messenger 4.6
also msn messenger 6.1
how do i combat this from happenin

anyone out there please :o(

Greetings Craig,

Do you have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed? Norton added a new "instant messaging scanning"
feature to Norton Antivirus 2003, which can conflict with Messenger and cause Windows
Messenger to automatically start and not be able to be closed. 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.

Disabling MSN Messenger in Norton 2003 - won't that make it so that files
rec'd via Msgr are not checked for viruses? that seems rather dangerous to
me. Is there no other way around this?

TIA
