Shoutbox

It started some time ago, and although I have Messenger Plus and StuffPlug installed I have tried clean reinstalling on MSN Messenger without them and I do not consider them to be the cause.

Whenever I open up my MSN Messenger I see stars next to their names, as if they had updated their blogs. After I check their contact cards it disappears. Nothing bad so far, same as it has always been.

Now here's the bad part: After signing out and signing back in those stars are back, even though no one has updated their blogs. For some wierd reason MSN just can't remember that I've checked their blog.

I have tried deleting temporary internet files, cookies, and cache, but it didn't help.

Any ideeas as to why this is happening to me?

EDIT: I am using the latest version of MSN Messenger on a Windows XP system.
