RE: deleting messenging-names
I see what he means.
Its the adware/spyware sort-of stuff that you get from Block Checkers.
Sort of like an incontrollable auto-message.
Resolution? I dont know.
What 'clean-ups' have you done? All isn't very specific, as 'all' for me may be different for your 'all'.

I've actually got rid off what I thought was the file im-names (using spybot) and messaging-names (manually) they're definately not to be seen anymore, back on messenger, instant messaged and still 'get you free names at www.messaging-names.com' automatically appears???????

It's probably edited a registry setting. Grab a registry cleaner, many online, and delete all MSN's registry settings and re-install Messenger. |
