Thanks for the good explanation, but do I need to allow Messenger to act as
a server? I also have a Logitech window that keeps popping up from ZA since
I loaded a new mouse on my laptop. It also says it is asking to act as a
server. What gives with all this stuff wanting to act as a server? I guess
I don't understand the "acting as a server" part. Thanks
