Windows messenger is replacing words with icons...

When I type the word Great or Yes, Windows Messenger replaces the word with
an icon of a bug that says the word. How do I make it stop doing this? It is
really annoying.
Thanks,

Greetings Jeremy,

It sounds like a custom emoticon has just been set for that word. As such, to remove this,
open up a conversation window, press the Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar,
choose the Tools menu, then Emoticons, scroll down, find this 'yes' emoticon, select it and
finally choose Remove.

There may be some others there that have been added that you haven't discovered yet, you can
remove those too.
