Ops Sorry You are correct.
It is Windows messenger 4.6.0077 (norwegian version).with msn add-on. Could
that msn addon be the culprit?
All I'm trying to do is chat (send textmessages) to my friends.Not send
files or something. When I try to do this (or even just log on to the
messenger service- the ip destination is a messenger one 64.4.13.252) I get
a warning from Nis (privacy part) that information I have spesified to be
private (in this case my email). Yes I have said to NIS that my email should
be private, thinking of websites that would steal my email and so on. If it
was just vhen I logged on I wouln't care, but since this warning is popping
up every time i tuch the keybord in a chat session it's kind of anoying.
I'll try to uninstall the msn-addon and see if that helps.
Thanks for your time.

Ps NIS 2002 is fully updated, and so is winXP
