I've seen those grey popups - I'm not getting those. I've disabled messenger. And tonight, I've already gotten 2 that appear to be MSN messenger chat type of windows. I'm not even logged into MSN messenger, nor is it loaded in my tray (near the clock).
Any ideas? I looked on google, but I only found things related to disabling the messenger service in Start> Cntl Panel> Services.

WinXP Pro, all service packs, and updated thru this past weekend.

Norton AV 2003 is up to date too; also running Kerio firewall behind a router.

This is very strange to me.

TIA..

I use MSN to get quick remote assistance invites from people I know in trouble. THat's about all I use it for, but find it handy.
I'll run a scan. I have adware.
Thanks

I ran ad-aware and only got cookies. Here's my settings and results. I don't think that I have spyware.

:( I guess MSN messenger *IS* running. It's process 26. It's not showing in the tray or anywhere else. I'll try to disable it from startup, but I had run xp-anti-spy when I reloaded windows last month. I guess it didn't do the trick.

edit: it was already set to not load from windows startup, but I also just set it to not run in the background. Hopefully that's all that's needed. I'll search google for any other settings I need to tweak on it.

edit 2: found this link http://forums.techguy.org/t144534/sccf8ffd8ae11f5172d4514e8c63ee28e.html
I turned off norton AV 2003 from monitoring MSN messenger. Maybe that's why it was in the task manager. I checked in mscofig/startup, and it wasn't listed there. So hopefully that will solve it.

Windows Messenger is not the same as MSN Messenger. If you don't use MSN at all it may be worth Uninstalling MSN

That tip won't "uninstall" MSN Messenger...it will instead hack Windows Messenger off the system. MSN Messenger is uninstalled via "Add/Remove Programs".

No, it's not. The executable for MSN Messenger is msnmsgr.exe. What you're looking at is msmsgs.exe, which is the executable for Windows Messenger.

There is a bug that shipped with the last two released builds of Windows Messenger v4.7, whereas it will run as a process...but nothing is in the tray. The options settings only work correctly if changed while WinMsgr is running, then if you reboot while RWWS is still checked, the blasted thing seems to break. This bug is not present in any version of MSN Messenger.

[edit]Forgot to finish explaining...if you have WinMsgr set to automatically log you on when Windows starts, it appears as if it's not even running. But it is running...and you're logged on, but you're not concious of it...and you then suddenly receive IM windows.

Another option: Tools->Options->Privacy, and move "All others" to the Block List...this guarantees that the only people who can send you IM are those on your buddy list.

ok, all I understood was move all others to block, which I did.

:eek:

can you spell it out in a 'for dummies' version? :)

Thanks

OK, sorry...Windows Messenger is a core system component, meaning that it's part of the OS and cannot be uninstalled (although it *can* be hacked off of your system, lots of people have done it). The latest released builds (newest downloads) of Windows Messenger has a bug whereas if you go to Tools->Options->Preferences and set it to Run When Windows Starts (RWWS) and you also set the option to run in the background, it will run each time you logon Windows...but you won't see it.

If you have logged on to Windows Messenger and told it to remember your password, it will always log you on to the service when you logon to Windows. Again, you won't see it or know that you're logged on...until an instant message window appears.

The bug is with "run in the background". This option was originally designed to allow you to close the main UI, but the app will still be running and logged on, and you can see the icon in the system tray and access the app anytime. However, if you reboot, this option does not automatically load the icon in the tray like it used to do...but the app runs anyway, you just don't know it because you can't see it. In previous builds of Windows Messenger, this bug did not exist, it's relatively new and has been confusing the bejeezus out of people all over the 'net.

This bug does not exist in any version of MSN Messenger. MSN Messenger can be installed on all operating systems, and is designed to run side-by-side with Windows Messenger (that's right...you can run both, and logon to both with different accounts, simultaneously). In addition, there is code in the install routine of MSN Messenger that makes it the soul IM app at boot by default...Windows Messenger's RWWS option will automatically be turned off when MSN Messenger is installed.

One last point: many people prefer MSN Messenger, and decide to "hack" Windows Messenger off their machines. However, doing so means that some features of MSN Messenger will no longer work until Windows Messenger is re-installed (such as Remote Assistance).

thanks
I have unchecked both: 1) start with windows, and 2) run in background. Like I said in the original post, I don't want to uninstall it because I use it to get remote invites from people. THey call me up and then I sign in. Otherwise, I rarely use it.

Thanks for the info, I guess there's nothing more I can do till they fix the bug. I am running the latest version.

:D

Quick note, since some people here dont seem to understand completely...

There is the Windows Messenger Service, Windows Messenger, and MSN Messenger. Three different programs.
