While my eyes are closing rapidly... my first thought is
CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD!!!!!!
After that...
Turn OFF system recovery, boot to safe mode, uninstall the software if you can from safe mode, run a spybot checker and your antivirus scan and scan ALL FILES, because from the sounds of it, you have spyware somewhere on your system and also that your PASSWORDS (note the S) have been compromised.
Do this if you can, then once you have and get back to the normal desktop, try reinstalling the software...
If ANYONE has been to any of the following sites on your computer, you more than likely have spyware and/or a virus
Porn sites,
crack sites
hacker sites
shareware sites generally located outside the US (not to my knowledge tucows.com or cdnet.com )
any site where you try to circumvent the normal legal process for purchasing/downloading/registering software
If all else fails, you can try creating a new user account and give it admin rights and work from that one...
Keep me informed to what you find and maybe i can come up with some more ideas

The Problem with windows Messenger is not with your Anti Virus or McCaffe or Norton, it is a malware bot that attatches itself to the MSIN.EXE file that runs Email and Messenger, Your Anti Virus and Firewall programs allow it to run as you have Messenger allowed privillages to run in your Firewall program, This Virus on Msn Messenger, actually overwites the Messenger lib files and gives the illusion that messenger works fine, which it does, but the original file that came with MSN Messenger has been deleted and replaced with this Virus One.
TAKE NOTE!! GO TOO LIVE MAIL WEB PAGE and change your password there, DO NOT USE MSN MESSENGER PROGRAM TO DO THIS,
This will illiminate The problem
Or if you Wish to be sure and go further...
Uninstall The Version You have of MSN
Then after that...search MSN and search Messenger on your computer, this bugger of a file will leave remnances in folders and pieces left over after install...so find anything to do with MSN and MESSENGER and delete the lot off your computer, delete the messenger cache Then once done, turn off SYSTEM RECOVERY...and Reboot
Then Turn On System recovery and Install a new MSN Messenger. then TAKE NOTE!! GO TOO LIVE MAIL WEB PAGE and change your password there, DO NOT USE MSN MESSENGER PROGRAM TO DO THIS,
Then when complete, open your new MSN Program, Dont Tick (AUTO SIGN ON) enter your password manually for about 10 times when you log in.....THIs Stops it all.
Microsoft are aware of this malicious Spam Bot attaching itself to promote porn sire advertising and have created a Clean tool and malware remover specifically designed to hunt down and remove known component names this Virus uses, it is called "Clean Virus MSN"

Thank you Maria
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
At least in my case the problem was McCafee. It deleted MsnMsgr.exe cookies. Problem stopped after I added MsnMsgr.exe to Unwanted Programs Exlusions list.
I figured this out from the OnAccessScanLog file:
Deleted C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe C:\Documents and Settings\username\Cookies\jarnori@atdmt[1].txt\00000000.ie Cookie-Atdmt (Potentially Unwanted Program) to Unwanted

hey i just happen be looking through and found your cry for help. I think i know what's going it seems that somebody has been able to get acces to your account the reason you can find anything on your computer is because he might be using another computer to log in to your account. i suggest to change your password and make it a strong password. hope this helps
mcafee is your problem.. i had the same problems wth my version 8 so i upgraded to 9. when i tried to start webcame it said i couldnt because webcam was being used by another program. i know it wasnt ... just go under your..program... mcafee .. click site advisor, then left click on saset (the icon that has the notebook on it) to open in note pad... scroll till you see the heading for msn messenger.. ((should look like this [msnmsgr.exe]
)) make sure your Enabled=0... click file, save. reboot for effects to take place...
now i havent figured out how to make my microphone work... it shows the icons as grayed out and keeps ringing even after my contact has answered the call.... and the same goes for him when he calles me....anyone have suggestions???

I have the same exact problem. I tried doing the Mc Afee site advisor thing, but it tells me it cannot save the changes.
What else can I do?
Plus, I tried going back to the old msn messenger version, but it keeps on popping up the new version telling me I have to install that or else cannot sign in!!
I have tried using msn messenger 9.0 (new version) on another pc and the webcam runs prefectly... help!!!

Well, I had the same problem a few weeks ago and it went away by itself... Leaving my computer on overnight, for at least a couple of days with windows live messenger signed in did not sign me out for a few weeks now.
After reading these posts.. im quite confused. So what could it be? Please answer if you know because I don't want to get hacked.
But otherwise, I guess just wait and see or make backup for your files if you are scared of losing or exposing your privacy. =)

I had Windows Live Messenger quit working at my company a few weeks ago (would not let me log in).
Microsoft had made a change on their servers that made it get blocked by our corporate firewall appliance.
Our corporate IT security people refused to change our firewall, and said I should wait for Microsoft to fix the problem on their end.
Sure enough, MSN Messenger started working fine again this week. No viruses were involved. Could this be your problem?
