I'm having difficulties staying connected to Windows Live Messenger; it kicks me off about a minute after connecting.
The problem has persisted for 2 days, and I haven't a clue what causes it.
I didn't update anything prior to this problem, although I've since run both Windows Update and Windows Live Essentials update, neither of which has had an effect.
I use AVG, but since nothing has been altered in the firewall exempt list, something tells me that is not the problem..

Has anyone experienced anything like this?
