...might it be that you somehow accidentally chose MSN to be your default page/choice of accessing the internet? MSN is part of the Windows software by default. It doesn't invade or download to your PC, its already there as a component of Windows. Go under Settings, Control Panal, Internet Options, and see if you don't have MSN under Home Page Address up at the top. If you do, try changing it to "http://www.aol.com/" or blank. Just a thought. I haven't tried it, but under Settings, Control Panal, Administrative Tools might also find MSN and set it to Manual and then Disable it, but I don't know what that will do to your PC...perhaps and probably nothing. If you have a MSN icon on your desktop, you can also delete it which won't delete MSN from your software, but will make it harder to accidentally access in the future. I also wonder if you didn't accidentally access something online, perhaps a virus or spyware or trojan that keeps trying to launch using IE (Internet Explorer)...if that's the case, good luck because will have to do some studying like watching Task Manager to see what processes are constantly running that perhaps shouldn't be (virus, etc), or doing a file search to see what files or folders were created about the time all bad things started happening, etc. Again, I use DOS to delete the things that shouldn't be, but if you're not familiar with DOS and start deleting the wrong stuff...POW!!! Be careful deleting files and folders if you're not sure what they are...worse things can happen. Good luck, but check what I suggested first. You just may've accidentally made MSN your default page. You've seen it online when some website asks if you want to make them your "default" page, that's where its done.
