Hello,

I recently downloaded a Windows Update that turned on my Messenger program
that I thought I'd gotten rid of. I don't not want that program, never use
it and would like it removed.It seemed to be inactive till that update.

My NAV is giving me this message in my log files every minute or so.

Can someone help me understand what Messenger is doing and how to
stop/delete/turn it off.

Thanks!

TN

Greetings,

This is Norton itself doing this. To turn it off, open Norton Antivirus (Right-click on the
Norton Antivirus icon in the System Tray/Notification Area (by the clock), choose 'Open
Norton Antivirus'), click Options, then Instant Messenger then uncheck MSN Instant Messenger
or Windows Messenger (depending on version) and click OK.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks so much - that did the trick!! I knew there was an easy fix, just
couldn't remember what it was!
