Default Messenger - signed onto an other computer?

Every so often I get a window pop up telling me I have signed into WindowsLive Messenger on another computer, then I get logged out of the Messenger that Im running on my machine. I can always sign back in straight away.

I have used my account on a few other pc's in my time. Is it possible that someone is using my account or is my laptop is just being a bit of a tw@t?

its highly likely your account details are saved on another pc and its logging in automatically ! big problem could be your hotmail mail will be readable by the person who has access to your MSN account too ! Might be worth checking any pc's you still have access to !

probably an auto log in on another machine (or saved password)
I'd change my password to be safe - then any other machines with the password saved will have the old one so wont be able to log in
