How curious. I've never seen Windows Messenger reinstalled on any
of the hundreds of machines (all with current security updates)I
oversee on a daily basis.

It hasn't happened in a while, but I've seen it.

Are you sure it wasn't an update to Windows Messenger that was
installed, rather than a _Windows_ security update? I could
understand Messenger being reinstalled in such an instance.

Since it is a part of windows, and Windows Messenger updates appear on
Windows Update, you are making a distinction that most people wouldn't
realize.
