Jason: I ran a virus scan a few days ago, and it found nothing. I wonder if there is any way to completely remove the Windows Messenger? (Since I intend on shutting off everytime it comes back on.) I wonder why it doesn't stay off.. What sort of legitimate things would it be used for? (Wondering if I am going to regret turning it off? But I can't deal with those things popping up a few times a minute)
