Win Mess 4.7 keeps signing out MSN Mess 6.0

Even though I have set up Windows Messenger 4.7 not to log in , it keeps
signing me in when I am trying to use MSN 6.0. It only does it a couple of
times an hour but it is very irritating. Is there any way to keep Win Mess
from doing this?

Greetings Celtic,

Do you happen to have Norton Antivirus 2003 installed? Norton added a new "instant messaging
scanning" feature to Norton Antivirus 2003, which can conflict with Messenger and display
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.
