However, by disabling the IM protection of Norton, am I not opening myself up to viruses that someone can transmit to me via MSN Msger? Another problem I am experiencing in addition to Msger 7.5 being "interrrupted" is other people seeing my Msger as being active even when my PC isn't even on. I *do not* have Msger enabled at startup; I prefer to manually start up MSN Msger when I want to use it. Additionally, I have removed Windows Msger as I use Outlook, not Outlook express and it is functioning fine without the Win Msger. Thanks for you feedback, ~SubMariner~ |

Greetings,
No, by disabling such functionality in Norton you're simply removing their automatic scanning when files are transferred in Messenger. Messenger now has its own virus scanning capabilities (when turned on) which can use Norton and the file will be scanned again when the file is run. So, assuming you had all three of these on, the file would be scanned -3- times which is brutally pointless. Are you sure you've completely removed Windows Messenger? What you're describing is classic symptoms of Windows Messenger running in the background. You can double-check by opening up the Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Del), choosing the process tab and looking for msmsgs.exe which is Windows Messenger (msnmsgr.exe is MSN Messenger). -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.

Hi Jonathan,
Greetings, No, by disabling such functionality in Norton you're simply removing their automatic scanning when files are transferred in Messenger. Messenger now has its own virus scanning capabilities (when turned on) which can use Norton and the file will be scanned again when the file is run. So, assuming you had all three of these on, the file would be scanned -3- times which is brutally pointless. Ok. I've done this & disabled the Norton AV scanning of Messenger. Are you sure you've completely removed Windows Messenger? What you're describing is classic symptoms of Windows Messenger running in the background. You can double-check by opening up the Task Manager (press Ctrl-Alt-Del), choosing the process tab and looking for msmsgs.exe which is Windows Messenger (msnmsgr.exe is MSN Messenger). I checked the task manager & it does not show up. I also ran the remove sequence you described in one of your first msgs in this thread: "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove " but I get a msg that says "MSN Messenger 4.7 is not installed on this PC". HOWEVER, when I go into my Program files I see that MSN Messenger is indeed in the program files. If I try to remove it, it takes my ability to IM out. So I guess I'm getting confused as to why they are both there in the first place & how I can get rid of the Windows messenger & still have my IM capability. FYI, I'm running Messenger 7.5. I see that Messenger Live is available, but isn't that just at the Beta stage & not really ready for mass consumption? Sorry for all the questions, but it's getting a bit frustrating & confusing. ~SubMariner~ |

news:BAFCEFD8-AFF2-44AE-85CD- I checked the task manager & it does not show up. I also ran the remove sequence you described in one of your first msgs in this thread: "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove " but I get a msg that says "MSN Messenger 4.7 is not installed on this PC". Then Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger) is gone. There actually was never a MSN Messenger 4.7. FYI, I'm running Messenger 7.5. I see that Messenger Live is available, but isn't that just at the Beta stage & not really ready for mass consumption? Windows Live Messenger was released and is now out of the beta stage. Feel free to upgrade. Ok. Guess I now have my nomenclature corrected. It's WINDOWS Messenger that was removed by putting running that "remove" sequence. However, people are still seeing me "online" when my PC isn't even on. Is this still a Windows Msger problem? And if so, why is it still happening when I ran that "remove" sequence as you suggested? Meanwhile, I upgrade to the Windows Live how do I make sure that it DOES NOT install into my Startup? Thanks again, |
