AFTER you save your OE email, I'd consider reinstalling IE.

MSN MESSENGER is a problem in the many exploits are still possible and give it's a security risk, I'd forgo that one.

hi
you can use Trillian from http://www.ceruleanstudios.com

there is a free version and as of yet nothing has been aimed at it,I don't think.

it works great.
