unwanted and unsolicitied message advice by Purbeckguy on 04-04-2009 at 01:33 AM

Hi all

Can anybody help me? I seem to be sending out recommendations to visit certain web sites to friends and family without ever wanting to do so. This seems to happen whenever I open Messenger and even does it when I'm offline. Is there any way I can rid myself of this problem? It's annoying the c**p out of me and has caused no end of problems for my friends and family
