Do you have Norton Antivirus installed? Most new anti-virus scanners have IM
scanning features, which protect users when they're being sent files. Of
course, this also forces the program to load at start-up.
If so, you can always turn off this feature in Norton by going to the
Options menu --> Instant Messenger --> uncheck the box marked "MSN/Windows
Messenger".
Let me know how it turns out.
