When I heard about hacker's getting into windows messenger, I immediately deleted it from my system by searching for that term and now its gone!
Joe do u have an emergency back up disc on hand if so you may can recover it from there or just go to microsofts website and you can probably down load it
Doc:
I don't use the messenger, and deleting it was no problem but it did put my mind at ease.
Thanks for the suggestion,
Joe
