Those checkboxes were unchecked and it still happens. I then went to
add/remove windows comp. and uninstalled windows messenger. Reboots. And
yet when I open task manager msmsgs.exe is still running and is logged into
my account...I know because when it is idle not signed in it is about
1000k,,,when logged in it is 8000k...
Help...I just can't seem to find it in any antivirus database..and am
nervous about if it is sending info somewhere...
