Hey Guys I think I might have the cure for it, I tried this and it completely worked.

( I can not be held responsible if anything happens so for your own safety please follow everything step by step )

As you see, This is the reason MSN can not sign in and you get error code 80072efd. If you have norton personal firewall, you need to add msn to the allow list.

If you have Windows XP Firewall you need to find MSN on your list when you click add program so the file that you're looking to put in should be msnmsgr.exe or something like that, add it to the allow list and it should log in.

If MSN does not log in, load internet explorer, if internet explorer doesn't work then MSN won't work so basically were back to norton antivirus.

Uninstall norton personal firewall and then make sure you have a working firewall like WINDOWS SERVICE PACK 2 FIREWALL.

But before you uninstall norton firewall install service pack 2 even though it may take a little while to download it's worth it.

after that you MUST add the msn live messenger or what ever messenger you use to the allowed programs list.

then you can uninstall norton personal firewall.

Restart your computer and then try checking the connection of the net service.

To do this you simply open msn>>tools>>options>>connection and look at the globe and the computer, it should say something like this:

You Are Directly Connected to the .NET Messenger Service.

You are connected to the internet through wired network connection.

You are connected to the internet using a direct connection. (Administrator)

There are many other ways to do this, but this is the best way that I could come up with, because I don't want to mess with any binary stuff.
