MS Messenger as a Server?
I use IE6, Service Pack 1 and the most recent Messenger (just updated a few minutes ago.) The question that follows is not peculiar to this new version, I have encountered it in previous versions.
I also use Zonealarm as a personal firewall.
When Messenger starts, a Zonealarm dialogue pops up asking if I want Messenger to act as a server.
What does Messenger want to do by acting as a server?
If I answer "No", what functions/abilities am I disabling in Messenger.
What are the security implications of saying "Yes"?
I'm sure I've read about some of this somewhere, but can't seem to find it now. Your help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
AA
