Title: "Outlook/Exchange" and "Instant Messaging"
Post by: Anderson2 on June 09, 2005, 09:37:22 PM

I do not use Instant Messaging or Outlook, but se Outlook Express.  Is it safe to turn off "Outlook/Exchange" and "Instant Messaging" providers to reduce overhead?

Yes (OE uses the Internet Mail provider), you can also remove them if you wish.

Add Remove programs, avast! Anti-Virus, Change/Remove button and scroll down to Change, click next and follow, here you can untick the providers you aren't using. You may need to be on-line to do this.
