windows messenger 4.7 appears online but actually offline
I'm using Windows Msg4.7. Today I didn't log on msg but I show up to be online on my friend's list, and my friend send a msg to me, my msg4.7 automatically popup and log on, it really scared me cause I thought I was controlled by someone. I didn't save password in local. My name was shown as a "?" on my my friend's msg panel, and the my picture is not shown as well. I normally use live msg but not windows msg. Can you help me to understand what's the cause and is it safe? Does it expose any private information? How to fix it? Appreciate if you can response asap. -- jojoko ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jojoko's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/jojoko.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-m...er/1023645.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

windows messenger 4.7 appears online but actually offline
Greetings,
Windows Messenger has the ability to load up in the background and it sounds like you did save your password in your Windows profile account. Note that this is completely separate from a Windows Live Messenger's saved password. Windows Messenger does not have the ability to use "your picture" or similar features like that. To prevent this from happening in the future, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "jojoko" wrote in message ...
