| OK, you convinced me. I've deleted Hot Bar from my computer. What's a

| Do yourself a favor, download HijackThis! and see how many BHOs you
| have installed that can install key loggers, etc.
|
| Nasty piece of software that Hotbar.

|| I don't use Prodigy's news server. My news server is called "SBC
|| News Server". (Maybe SBC uses Prodigy's news server!) The "annoying
|| little graphic" (which I don't see when download the newsgroup
|| messages) could be because I have Hot Bar installed to work with my
|| Outlook Express, and since I use Outlook Express to access the news
|| groups, Hot Bar automatically attaches a "Play Games for Free -
|| Click Here" message to my postings.

|| Does Outlook 2007 have the ability to access news group news
|| servers, the
|| way Outlook Express does, and if so, how do I set it up ?
||
|| No, never has and hopefully never will. You set up your news
|| groups in OE or Windows Mail.
||
|| And if you're going to use the Microsoft newsgroups regularly, you
|| might want to consider connecting directly to msnews.microsoft.com
|| rather than Prodidgy's news server, which seems to add a very
|| annoying little graphic to
|| the bottom of your messages.
