Hi,
Ever since I've installed my firewall (norton personal firewall 2003) it
keeps giving me a pop-up saying that "c:\progr...etc...msmsgs.exe is
preparing to access the internet". It happens every 2 minutes even when I'm
not e-mailing, surfing or using the computer at all. The messenger-icon in
the sys-tray is not visible, since I've closed messenger in it's
right-click-menu.
I know I can turn of the pop-up in the Norton-options, but I would like to
know if I can prevent messenger from doing this. Even when I kill the
process in the task-manager it somehow survives, returns and continues his
lifes task ("preparing to access the internet..."
Please tell me how I can kill it properly, without uninstalling it.
Btw:
I'm using:
Win XP sp1 (dutch)
Windows Messenger v. 4.79 (dutch)
connected by LAN
Norton Personal Firewall 2003
Thanks,
Richard
