Hi Isaac,

I'm curious to what you mean by "problems connecting to other people"?
In what way?

greetings!
Michèle

Take care: MC's solution will protect your messenger but according to
messages in this NG you may have problems connecting to other people. It is
still worth a try , if you have problems you can always change it.

If I'm not wrong the Norton AV file to use is: CCIMSCAN.EXE

Hi Michele
Sorry I don't have the original complaints in my computer anymore but I
found part of a reply :

" As well, 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.

Since Jonathan gives good advice I took his advice at face value.

Ah, I see Isaac. Thanks for your explanation.
I thought that was the problem to uninstall window messenger. Than indeed
that option can cause problems.

But I must say, I have Norton AV 2003 to protect my messenger, and haven't
face any problems yet.

greetings,

Michèle
