Well without MSN running just browsing here and it has popped up a Zone Alarm alert saying Messenger is trying to access the Internet.

Validation: Known Program
Application:msmsgs.exe
Destination Up:**.**.***.***
Port 1900

Then allow or deny

The above is from the standard Zone Alarm Pro Pop Up Alert.

Alert advisor gives a recommendation to allow and select remember this setting.

At this time MSN is not open and I have nothing other that a browser window open.

Maybe paranoia is setting in.
