built 234 days ago
Windows XP and Windows 2000 both have a software program called Windows Messenger installed and loaded by default. This software allows you to send and receive messages directly from one computer to another. Advertisers have now discovered how to abuse this option to send advertisements direct to a users screen.

The most prevalent problem users are having is with IM in the current version of Windows Messenger, Version 4.6. After upgrading to 4.6—through Windows XP's automatic upgrades feature—users said they frequently become disconnected from the service, some as often as every 5 minutes. Worse yet, they have no indication that they are disconnected until they try to send a message to another user.
