364943 2005-06-18 05:07:00 Zone Alarm has a new IM protection tool..it is supposed to keep IM's safe from ..er..whatever.

I fell for it, as I have high regards for their Zone Alarm stuff..but this just played games with Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Chatzilla too. It got off to a poor start when I got error messages that said there were registry files missing (cold boot) and I lost the ability to get any IM's going at all.

Just a note... :blush:

Well, the security suite version did, when running Doom3 .
