for nearly all of my clients using win xp I've deinstalled win messenger.
one urgently wanted it back for communicating in real-time; and, of course, 
it's much more fun seeing a live picture of the counterpart(s) in the chat 
window...

even having installed sp2 and the newest patches plus AV I can imagine a virus 
spreading within those pictures throughout the whole msn and so on...
any other defense?
or ist this too much paranoia?
