Have you ever got complaints from your MSN Messenger’s friend saying you are sending them SPAM messages or Viruses but you have tried tons of wares scanner, antivirus scanner and to find no virus on your PC at all ? Well, your friends are not accusing you for nothing but its neither your fault also on not trying to stop that because you simply not aware of it and you basically never get your friends’ complaint messages because most of the time “You” sending out those spam is when you are offline and having a sweet dream. Yes, you didn’t read wrongly, you are basically spamming your friends on the contact list after you log off… even when you friend reply you telling you what happen, you will eventually never receive those offline message because “someone else” already receive those for you.
So, what actually happened ? If you try to dig into your memory, you probably recall that you once click on an URL that say you can sign in to check “Who has blocked you in MSN Messenger” and you proceeds to sign in with your Legimate MSN login.. bam.. you give away your Login information to that site and they steal your MSN Login and helps you to online when you are actually in offline… and the nightmare begins. ( More like Nightmares for your friends in your contact list because you never knew you spam them and your friends are frustrated of your spam messages ) I personally have blocked some of my friends because they kept spamming me everyday and not taking actions to solve it. There are other websites where they ask you to register an account with an email address and enter a password, you will be suprise but many people actually use the same password they used for their email account to register all other online accounts. It's like revealing to everyone your pin number for your ATM card so that others can cash out the money from your bank account.
How do you solve this ? You failed to capture this with any of the antivirus softwares or spywares scanners because it is not a virus or spyware. Surprisingly, the solution is very simple and straight forward.
Step 1 - Change and updates your Password for your hotmail.
Step 2 - Change your secret question and password.
Why do I have to change my secret question and password ? This is because if you only change your password, the hacker can still enter if they have changed your secret question and answer, once they have resetted the password to their own, your account will no longer be accessible to you. ( MSN Lives uses the same password for your MSN, hotmail, Live Spaces, Messenger ). They will not be able to login to your account to Spam anymore. Do take this seriously, think about this. If they can login to your Messenger to Spam, what can they do with your emails, your blogs, your msn account that kept a lot of your personal stuff. This is a Identity Theft and not just any Virus / Spyware.
Step 3 - Lastly, ensure that they did not set email forwarding in your email options to forward any incoming emails to their own email accounts as this could be used to steal confidential data that may be sent to you via email.
So, do yourself a favor and do your friends a favor. If you friend tell you that you are spamming them.. they really meant it and it is time for you to change your password.

If you are connected to the Internet through a router, remove the connection to the router. Then, directly attach the network or modem cable to the computer. This will help determine whether the issue is related to a firewall setting on the router. Try to sign in to Messenger after you connect to the Internet. If you can connect to Messenger after bypassing your router, the issue may be related to router settings. Try resetting your router.
If you are signing in from a corporate environment, contact the network administrator to determine whether port 1863 is being blocked inside the network.
If you have Zone Alarm with IM Security installed on the computer, turn off IM Security for Messenger.
Restart your system and sign into Msn Messenger

Hey I need help.
My MSN can't sign in at all. Its error code is 80072EFD. I did as told but it doesn't work.
When I went to view my network connections, there's this MSN connection manager thing. It says that my MSN device is missing.
Are you able to help me on that? :)
Hi Shufen .. try to login from another computer and if it is successful, if u can successfully sign in on another computer, then you might wanna reinstall the msn application on your existing computer :)
If you are unable to sign in on all other computers, then it could be an account problem, you may be locked out, so you have to wait awhile before trying to sign in again. Cheers
Hi Stanley, I continually get the message "windows live messenger has stopped working" DEP closes the program and I cant use this at all, please can you help, from steven
