OE contacts: Who ARE these people??

[Mikey the Quick]

Work computer, runing Outlook Express 6, quite a long time now.
"Windows Messenger" icon appears in the tray while OE is running, what
is that for? Never used it before, don't get it on my home computer,
never paid attention to it! It goes away when I exit OE.

All of a sudden, new contacts are showing up, with messenger icons,
some are online, some are not. Some have e-mail addresses with my
domain, most don't have addresses.

Who ARE these people? If my boss thought for one second I was messing
around with this stuff, he'd have my butt!

I deleted them the other day, and sure enough, they're baa-aack! NOW
it won't even let me delete them.....aarrggghhh....

What did we do to get this stuff here, and how do we make them go
away??

Thanks, all!!

Mike
