    When I wake up my laptop from hibernation, MSN Messenger (8.1) icon appears in the sys tray.

    It is not set to start up automatically with windows, since I barely use it.

    Where can I check if something is set to launch after waking up?

    Adding to the strange behaviour of my MSN Messenger, now it logs in automatically, even if I haven't checked the "remember password" option (I never ever do).

    Could all this be virus-related? My all-high-detection-level Avira hasn't screeched yet, so I don't know...

    when you wake up from hibernation, every app is just the way it was when you went into hibernation. it has NOTHING to do with autostart, or what ever.

    you left it open before hibernation? it will be open again. hibernation is like "freezing" the os, and then "unfreezing" it afterwards to continue work.

    and if you where logged in, it logs in again. like if you lost the internet connection for short.

    It is not running when I go to hibernate, and it is there when I wake up.

    It has happened everytime I hibernate or sleep, so I've checked and double-checked that its not running when I hibernate. Its always back at waking up.

    I hardly use this program, once a month maybe... Very strange...
