| | Which IM program are you referring to? There are none installed by default, so just don't install one. |

| | I just assumed Windows installed them by default. This is anew laptop and I think it had AOL trial installed on it but I quickly got rid of that. What would I search for to see if IM is active because of some installation I am not aware of? I use Thunderbird for email. Thanks. |

| | With the info you gave me I discovered that HP had installed Windows Live essentials and that included Live Instant Messenger, so I removed it. Any other IMs I should search for? |
