Howdy…hope someone can answer my question. I have made sure the MSN box that needs to be checked in order to make sure chats are recorded has remained UNCHECKED. However, the other day I found, quite unexpectedly in “My Documents” a complete copy of a rather sensitive recent chat. I do NOT know how that happened and want to ensure it never happens again.
Any suggents or comments folks??????
MillChange your password or disable automatic sign-in. Someone with access to your computer may have snuck into your account and re-checked the Chat logging option.
thanks for the tip but i’m positive nobody changed the password or anything like that. AND the chat copy was in MY (Word) Documents…not in My received files or anything like that.
A real mystery to me
MilYeah it could be that, because I think the Messenger Plus chat log option is enabled by default. Someone clarify that for me.
If so, that can simply be disabled via the preferences panel.
I have Messenger 6.2 and the enabling box is unchecked.
Its like I somehow MADE a chat copy. You can imagine my surprise (and chagrin) when I found a complete record of a sensitive chat in My (Word) Documents file.

MilYes, but do you have Messenger Plus installed?
If you are not sure, or do not know, just look on the MSN main window, and next to the “Help” menu will be another menu called, “Plus”. This will determine if you have Messenger Plus installed or not.
Thanks.

MilI didn’t say someone changed your password, obviously you can still get in. What I did ask is if you have automatic sign-in enabled – ie- do you need to enter you password everytime you log on?
So…
– message Plus! is not installed
– Files are being created in My Documents, not My Received Files
– All chat logging options are disabled within MSN Messengers options menuThis is certainly a puzzle. What type of files are these chat logs? Did you say they are Microsoft Word documents (.doc). message Plus! chat logs are created as .txt files. MSN Messenger creates them as .xml files. If I am wrong of this, please correct me.
Do you have any other addon’s for MSN Messenger that may have a chat-log option?
