I update to the new msn messenger lastnight, this morning i`ve got my firewall asking if microsoft qmanger can access the web. I looked and its added a file called loadqm.exe to the registry to load it on startup.

It don`t effect messenger if you don`t allow it to load on startup, or deny it connections to the internet, so i removed it. Apparently microsoft deny that the 8k loadqm.exe is their file, and it looks very much like a key logger of some description.

Is anyone else aware of this files existance?

it is their file, from a little net search, it apparently loads the msn query manager - buncha garbage.
