-=PCTechTalk=- Re: disabling messanger

I wonder if it did not work for me because I have win xp home not pro?

Ill try again.  I dont understand about the spybot, I went ahead and
uninstalled it though.

I tried letting spybot clean dso exploit but comes back.  So I should now
set a restore point?  And d/l spybot again and try?
