re: I've been taken over by Virus Alert Friday, March 17, 2006 at 7:53 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bill (90 messages posted) Seems like I heard about this program on the Kim Komando site, sends out false positives to get you to buy it. If memory serves, you need to turn off, or better yet remove Windows Messenger. Start-Control Panel-Add/Remove Programs-to the left Add or Remove windows Componets---scroll down and uncheck windows messenger---click next----hope that does the trick.
