Re: OT: Help
I have mine turned off in the service, though you did make me look at task manager just to double check.
But what is Malware btw? yes I live under a rock, a selective rock though.

I've experienced advertisement spamming through messenger service until I kicked it from the system.

Generally speaking, Malware is used to describe programs that do things to your system that you don't want them to, usually without telling you about it - such as turning Windows Messenger back on if it has been disabled, allowing you to recieve spammed ads by it.

Re: OT: Help
I want to disable it because it comes on automatically and does not tell me. It shows me as active on the MSN network and that is something that I do not always want known. Deleteing the Exe worked, and thank you again Jack for that suggestion. Thank you all for you comments.
