today i had my msn open, and opened another msn and logged into my boyfriends msn. a little box popped up and it said that anything i did could be seen by me and his computer. does that mean he was logged in at the time that i logged in as well? does that mean that he has messenger plus too? or is it just saying that to me because i have messenger plus?

if he has messenger plus, will it tell him that my computer logged on?
if he doesn't have messenger plus, would that knock him out of his msn like it would without messenger plus?

i'm confused as to how this works.

This has nothing to do with Messenger Plus!. Windows Live Messenger 9 comes with a feature of being logged into up to 4 places at once.

The best way to show how it works is by a diagram of some kind...

Computer 1 (signs in first)
                   \
                    \
                     Windows Live Server
                     /
                    /
Computer 2 (Signs in second, yet is still signed in on Computer 1)

Anything done on either PC is seen on all Computers signed into the Windows Live ID. By Default, Windows Live Messenger not only tells you that you have logged on at more than 1 location, but also gives you the computer names. Disabling this will NOT work as it will only apply to the computer you are using.

Hope this helps
