Hey guys.

I just installed Norton Internet Security 2003 on XP and have noticed an odd thing happening with Windows Messenger.

Before NIS, I had it to where I could close Windows Messenger (right click in tray, choose exit) even when Internet Explorer was open.

After having installed NIS, it now tells me that I can not close it because other applications are using it. Even after closing all my other apps, I still am unable to Exit Windows Messenger.

Does anyone else have a similar experience to this? (In relation to NIS, or other)

Did you find a fix for it?

Thanks a lot.
