On-line even after uninstalling messenger

[E.S.]

Hi:

Recently I installed MSN Messenger 6 and uninstalled XP Messenger 4.7
(default in Windows XP). MSN was set up to not start automatically
with windows, just like XP messenger before.

Nevertheless, even without starting MSN Messenger and with XP
messenger "uninstalled", I still can receive instant messages, which
are showed in a XP messenger 4.7 window!

I'm also using Outlook 2002 but I have disabled it.

Anyone have any idea of what's happening?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings,

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 Windows
Messenger to automatically start and not be able to be closed. 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.

Yes, I have NAV 2003, but I have already disabled instant messenger scanning.
