Dear group,
I use messenger a lot because I have a Network which has
members from all over the globe. In the summer of last
year I upgraded to MSN Messenger 6.0 from Windows
Messenger 4.7, but found after about a week later that I
would go offline after a 4 minute interval, or 10 minute
interval, for being appearing offline, then when I was
online I then would suddenly lose Messenger facilities
altogether. Shortly after that I caught MS Blaster virus
and had to reformat the hard drive and install Windows XP
again, with patch. I decided to stay with Windows
Messenger 4.7. But why is it rarely that Messenger goes
offline?
I have had for 2 occasions people hacking into my
messenger and using my address. How can that be?
