Most likely it means what it says. The common scenario is if you use MSN Messenger on more than one machine, like I do. If the machine you're not using is rebooted then it will sign on again causing you to get that message. Also, network problems can cause MSN Messenger to login again as well. However if you're concerned that someone else is using your account or machine; just change your password and see if the problem goes away.

Posted by: Emily at July 28, 2010 7:51 PMBeen using messenger for quite sometime now on both a tower PC and a laptop. Usually, when I log on to the laptop I'll get a message on the tower stating I've logged on elsewhere but doesn't automatically log me off. The message on the laptop will be, do I want to log off at the other locations.
Now, however, all I need do is turn the laptop on and I'm suddenly signed off of messenger on the tower with a message saying I have logged on elsewhere . . .when I haven't.
It doesn't occur in reverse; if I'm logged on Messenger on the laptop and then boot up and log on with the tower, neither one is forced off.
