ISP branding

I have Qwest as my ISP and since they have the partnership with Live,
everything becomes Qwest branded..

I have Live messenger 2009, and the theme on any IM window shows the qwest
theme from when it patched about a month ago. The IM windows are set to use
the default theme, which I have changed away from the qwest one. Happens on
multiple pc's including a fresh install.

Vista x64
Live Messenger 14.0.8064.206

Thanks for any sugguestions,

Greetings,

I haven't had an opportunity to see how they're doing this, but are you running nay sort of
Qwest-based software that might influence this?

Regardless of your answer, as a starting point, try making a new Windows Live ID
(https://signup.live.com) that has no relation to Qwest and then sign in to that address in
Messenger. It would be interesting to see if it's actually placing the branding on based on
the account or otherwise.
