messenger on all the time?
Greetings Kain,
Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new "instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause it to also keep starting. 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. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "kAiN" wrote in message ... hey guys, wondering how i can disable either windows messenger or msn messenger from logging me on all the time. specificly whenever my comp is on it is as well and i could be surfing the net and someone will start chatting with me (kinda annoying)but i don't see it running in the systray and if i terminate it in task manager it'll just start back up in a sec. thx |
