New description:

 I have disabled logging several times, and somehow after like a month or
 so, logging gets re-enabled out of the blue.  I've done anti-virus scans
 and have internet security monitoring, and I'm the only user on this
 computer, it just baffles me.

 I guess I'm referring to the Tools->Preferences->Logging.  What happens is
 I'll uncheck all 3, Log all instant messages, Log all chats, Log all
 status changes to system log.   Then about month later, it will magically
 have all 3 checked again out of the blue.  This has been going on since at
 least October 2008.  I thought it was my laptop at first possibly
 compromised, but I just bought this laptop in February, then I noticed
 yesterday my logging for pidgin got turned on out of the blue on this new
 laptop.
