I tried to find a solution beside installing

NO, shuting down windows messenger shouldn't stop MS
updates or disable auto virus update notification.
At least thats what I know. I have XP and I don't even
let it run and Norton Antivirus doesn't stop working and
my windowsupdates work fine. go to [url]www.windowsupdate.com[/url]
if you want to manually get updates
