I have a funny situation on a machine where the MSN messenger icon
appears in the system tray from time to time even though it is set not
to run at start-up.
The icon only appears fleetingly and on occasions it appears that a
(virus) file has been put on to the system.
The machine has all the latest updates from Microsoft.
Symantec scans the machine and declares it clean. It does quarantine the
file in question, so it never runs.
I would like to have the "firewall" enabled, however, in this state the
machine can not see the other machines on the network.
Can anyone tell me what effect "removing" 'Windows messenger' from the
Windows set-up has? Is it OK to do it?
