Has anyone else noticed any problems with the latest version of the Zone Alarm Security Suite and MSN Messenger? I downloaded the trial version and ever since I've been having problems trying to sign in to MSN. I've checked my settings in ZA and turned the IM filtering off, but still can't sign in to MSN. I've done a Google search on the problem and get quite a few articles on the issue, but no real fix to the problem. Has anyone else noticed anything and does anyone know of a fix?

Yeah. It's random. There are times I can sign in to Messenger fine even when Bone Alarm is running. Then there are times I can't sign in to save my life. I thought I had a fix before as I shut down Bone Alarm and was able to sign in. However, I've just come off of a cold start and thought MSN Messenger didn't sign in automagically I was able to sign in via right-clicking the systray icon. It's still a mystery. Perhaps it has to do with signing in using cached credentials (i.e. I'm on a laptop and it is a member of a Win 2003 Server domain) as I don't log in to the domain when I'm away from work and that's when I use MSN Messenger.

I bet you'll find your answer here:

Pertinent to me were issues with Proxy Server settings, antivirus software, and software firewalls. I figured I'd post the above link before I solved my problem as it may take a while for me to figure it out.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
