Contact List Unavailable

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

For past half hour or so I cannot sign onto MSN Messenger service. Keeps
telling me that contact list is unavailable--although I still can connect to
Internet thru local ISP.

Does anyone know for sure what is going on???

Seems to be a worldwide crash??

Looks like a worldwide outage. I'm in So. California and I've been
experiencing these same symptons for the past 24 hrs. Let's see how
Microsoft is going to spin this one.

I found this elsewhere...

"The MSN server has just been hit with a Worm Virus and is getting
service problems worldwide. Best to stay off Messenger and check for
news updates (from a reliable source such as MSN, of course).
This worm will compromise a system if infected."

The difference between the incidence in July 2001 and yesterday was that in
July 2001 MS took the system off line. Whereas yesterday it was not
completely blocked, we were able to intermittently access MSN and Windows
Messengers.
