O.P. msn messenger problem (firewall)
My firewall keeps telling me MSN is trying to connect to sites (www.imgag.com) (rad.msn.com) etc and I don't know why, what is it doing as imgag doesn't sound like a microsoft page and nothign appears when I visit it in internet explorer

rad.msn.com is part of msn (msn messenger) i think this is the msn ads page.

Just allow it. It's pnly meant to show in an ad frame.

I am noticing that i'm gettin more graphical ads. I used to only have the plain MSN Messenger banner, then sometimes an ad with text links to msn services but now i'm getting website type ads.

... those crazy people as MSN...

Personally, I believe with MSN experimenting with the current adverts, (it also caused a problem with Plus's hiding them) this could be related...What firewall do you use? If you don't mind exposing that?

Why don't you send an error report e-mail to Symantec?
