monofonik Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 from the experience i've got, i've found that removing c:program filesmessenger and hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftmessengerservice and hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftmessengerservice, then going to messenger.msn.com and redownloading fixes it. i figure it works because i set my name to "don't go to any urgent urls i've sent you, and tell me if i send any. it's a virus" and i haven't recieved anything.

generalnewbie Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 yep this is just like the other one just modified it so that if you arent login to msn it logs you in and then closes it you might have the fix as most of us do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malechai Veteran Posted February 14, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 14, 2002 Yea its not a virus. Its a security flaw with IE and Messenger. Theres a patch available for IE and the next version of Messenger due out in the next couple day is supposed to fix the problem. For more information: http://messenger.msn.com/support/knownissues.asp If you clicked the link, don't worry, you'll be OK PS I'm closing this thread because a similar one is unfolding in General Discussion.
