Help with MSN messenger and IE

TDK · 05-17-2008, 10:44 AM

I recently disabled IE (It has a virus or something, it kept opening pages whenever I connected to the internet with anything) by setting up a proxy server that didn't work (0.0.0.0, port: 80). It worked fine, and made my computer run faster, and it hasn't restarted by itself since I did this.

However, windows live messenger uses IE's proxy settings, so it won't connect to the internet. Does anyone know a way around this?
