I don't want to have messenger on my system. I do not use
outlook/outlook express and have no need for messenger.
Can anyone help.
 
Hi Alan,

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 this behavior.
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.

I didn't even think about that. You have solved my
problem. Many Thanks.
