Why is there a red slash through my icon in Live Messenger as if it is blocked. Block & Unblock are not options for myself. I have removed Live Essentials and re-installed it and still have the problem. Also, I do not know what kind of problems this could cause, nothing that I can tell so far, it's just annoying.Thanks in advance, Chris.1 person needs an answerI do too
