From time to time I get disconnected from MSN 6 saying that I've been signed
on at another location. I know for a fact that this isn't happening, so what
is up with this message? A friend of mine says he has the same problem.

THanks
 
Have you got MsnMessenger and WindowsMessenger both running at the same
time. One may sign the other one out.

Nope... WinMess is disabled!

I doubt this highly as I've created another account on my other computer and
added me to my contact list. It says that I'm off line....when I sent a
message to myself it said I was offline.

Also a friend of mine claims to have the same problem from time to time.
....no one has his information. No motivation for hackers ether
 
Greetings Chad,

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 some of 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.
