Help and advice please.

I realise msmsgs.exe is part of the Windows Messenger Service.

But all of sudden since installing Zone Alarm Pro 5 it is starting to ask for access which at present I am denying.

End tasking the program seems fine for about 2 minutes then as if by magic it appears back.

I do use MSN on occasions but is this program needed for that or anything else.

Should I just Start/Run/services.msc and disable it ??

If i do this will it cause MSN to stop working or have any other effects on the system.

Thanks

Ooops by the way
