    That applies only to Windows Messenger v5.0 running in Win2K SP4, WinServer
    2003, and Win XP SP1 & SP2.

    No one here "is" Microsoft, Tony. You may contact MS Product Support
    Services in the United States at 1-866-PCSafety
    (1-866-727-2338). International customers should contact their local
    subsidiary at the number located at http://support.microsoft.com/security.
