Hello Sir Ethic,

if you continue to get the message "You have been signed out because you
signed in at another location", this means probably that your Messenger
password has been hijacked by the virus you installed accidentally from that
website. So, first go and remove the virus by any means. Then, AFTER
removing it, I advise you to change your Messenger password so any stolen
password will not be able to sign in anymore. To change your Messenger
password, go to https://account.live.com/SummaryPage.aspx and click the
'Change' link in the password section.

Regards,
mynetx
