In the new version of Money, information from your bank and brokerage accounts is available to your Money file via automatic download. This means that you have the convenience of having your account information aggregated into your Money file and available for viewing via any Internet-connected computer.

However, because most of your file information is not on MSN servers, you can no longer view some of your Portfolio Manager information, or handle tasks such as making changes to your budget. For more information on what to do if your information is not displaying in the Portfolio Manager, go to the Microsoft Money Plus Home & Business recent customer questions topic listed below.

If you don't want to use this service, you can turn it off and re-start it again at any time.
