hi heart , i think u should start off by blocking their crap ip adresses
, i dont get anything at all and can log in fine , the logout even has a nice "ext" for me to click and their webbugs cant get past anymore.
just put this domain name or ip range in blockpost :
h.msn.com
207.68.177.124-207.68.177.125#h.msn.com
this next one needs at least one ip to "not" be blocked to login properly for me, be careful cause this one can block your login if you use all three ips.
ld.cb.msn.com - 207.68.173.245, 207.68.171.233, 207.68.172.239
and this one may be ok to block as well :
cb.msn.com - 207.68.172.240, 207.68.173.246, 207.68.171.234
theres also rad.msn etc which i block in the hosts file further down. >>

if you still are getting flash crap , then make sure activex is disabled , works for me , this is everything i can find that im blocking so far..
