Help!!!
I'm running windows messneger 4.7, and can't seem to turn
it off. I un-clicked the box "run on start up", but it
still seems to load and sign me in automatically on start
up. I tried the suggestions of removing it from settings
under administrative tools, but there doesn't seem to be
a windows messenger in that section. Now what!!!!!

I hope someone can help me

Greetings Catherine,

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.
