My Windows Firewall keeps blocking be from recieving and sending files via
MSN Messenger 7.0. I am also having trouble uploading photos on my MSN space
and I believe it is the culprit behind this too. I can't turn it off, and
have tried methods suggested to me before my running "Services.msc", etc. It
hasn't worked :(

Warning! I'm only 16 and need basic technology English to understand. I'm
not too computer literate.

Create a zip file of the files you want to send through MSN Messenger. The
system, by default, blocks the sending/receiving of files that are commonly
known to be used to transmit malware, spyware, virus's etc. A zip file will
go through.

I can't answer re: photos to My Space as I don't use, and probably never
will, use it.
