Title: Avast Problem - MSN Messager
Post by: Heidelloon on November 27, 2004, 10:11:44 PM

This isn't much a problem however when someone sends me a image file.  On MSN Messager Avast! loads up the memory screen and then the skinned Avast loads up.  It's annoying is there a way to fix that?  It doesn't do it with AOL Instant Messager or Yahoo Messager...??? huh??
