Hi,

Your welcome. Where I work at, I manually removed windows messenger off of
128 computers and off of my 3 personal computers. As for SP2, I suggest you
use the SP2 blocker patch that MS has, so you can keep getting windows
updates without it trying to just give you SP2. Since you have been reading
the newsgroups, then you you also know about how to properly prepare your
computer prior to installing SP2. I hope you will follow all the
suggestions, it does make a difference for a successfull install.
