Windows Messenger... why won\'t you DIE?! - Tenbatsuzen - 07-15-2003 My work system is an HP with XP. Please, point and laugh at me for having an HP, I begged and pleaded for a Dell. I have ZoneAlarm installed. I disabled Windows Messenger manually using services.msc and I also used "Shoot the Messenger" to kill it. However, I keep getting popups from ZoneAlarm that Messenger wants to access the Internet. This is curious to me. They were popping up every 4 minutes, and this was after I upgraded some stuff using windows update. Any ideas?

Windows Messenger... why won\'t you DIE?! - Tenbatsuzen - 07-15-2003 It's Windows messenger. I don't have MSN installed, nor Yahoo. Plus, i've seen popups for Yahoo, ZoneAlarm will indicate it's Yahoo messenger.
