Well, I just downloaded Zone Alarm Security Suite off of neowin, and it is slightly annoying me. Everytime I open a convo it says:

*user i'm chatting with* says:
[ Zone Labs Security alert: Session not encrypted because -----@hotmail.com is not protected by IM Security ]

Any way to take this off? And yes I did set IM security OFF on ZA....

UNINSTALL IT ALL in my opinion, it has known conflicts with Plus! and MSN Messenger.

Even the firewall? (which btw lets msn access internet even if i do denie... lol)

No it doesn't? wth, it works fine with both applications, no hitches, no bugs, nothing.

I'll edit my post with a solution, hold on Ningc_Maniac.

Edit here's how to disable it:

1) open ZoneAlarm Security Centre
2) click on IM Security
3) click on Settings
4) click on Advanced...
5) Untick the second checkbox.

Done =)

Urmm....Ill post the threads relating to the IMSecure Component which doesnt work with Plus! and MSN Messenger, Lemme find them!

IMSecrue + messener Plus! = C++ runtime error

Alright well I have IMSecurity off and i unchecked the box... should be fine now...

Even so, Messenger Plus!, MSN Messenger and Messenger Discover work _fine_ for me, no bugs, no "C++ runtime error" no crashes =).
