.Net Passport

The login box has started popping up, says connect to Storage.msn.com. I click cancel and 10mins later its back, starting to piss me off. How do i get rid of it and stop it coming back?

Next time it pops up, bring up task manager and end task on it.

Check your windows updates, try a restore back before this months and last months updates.
.net framework is amongst the updates if you are not using or developing any programs that require it, you don't need it.

.net Passport is not the same as .net Framework. Passport is the unified MSN login.

LOL!!!

Actually Microsoft has killed .NET Passport as a service so it's just a loose end now..
Just now SP2 disables Windows Messenger not MSN messenger which, I think, is what he's using.
What I have noted, especially if you have a Hotmail account but I doubt it's the only way, is that there are web sites out there that will still try to enable Passport and I think that may be ticcam's problem.
I won't know what's really going on till he post back.
