Messenger on Icon Bar

[Paul]

Hi all,

Windows messenger auto logs in but does not show on the icon bar, I only get
to know I am logged in if some one imp's me, how do I get it to display on
the icon bar a even if I am not logged in at the time.

Also I have set it to not auto start and login automatically yet it still
does, any Ideas

Greetings Paul,

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 some of 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.
