Hi,

I have disabled loading the messenger on bootup and everything related ...
The messenger icon is not on the taklist nor is it in the systemtray.
Nevertheless, if I dial to my ISP my buddys can see that I am online.
Messenger logs itself on even if it is not started.

How can I disable this?
Thanks for your help
Franz
 
Greetings Franz,

Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Recent versions of Norton Antivirus added a new
"instant messaging scanning" feature, which can conflict with Messenger and cause it to also
keep starting. 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.
