The issue could be related to you having had your account compromised, or
you may have Messenger loading in the background as a result of an antivirus
scanner. Norton Antivirus' Instant Messenger Scanning feature forces
msmsgs.exe to run in order to safeguard file transfers, leading to that
error message you encountered.

If you have NAV installed and would like to disable Instant Messenger
Scanning from causing false warnings, simple double-click Norton's desktop
icon --> click "Options" --> go to the "Instant Messenger" window, and
uncheck the "MSN/Windows Messenger" box.
