This seems likely. The latest version of one of the clones
I use tells me that MSN Messenger is using a new protocol
and new security, something about SSL, and would I like to
download a small patch to handle this? I said yes, and got
the patch ... but even that seems to be a little behind the
curve. Well then it's back to good ol' Yahoo Messenger for me.
Thanks,
