Hello,

I recently had a problem with a browser hijack and had to increase my anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, plus add firewall. In the meantime my webcam audio (MSN Messenger 6.2) has stopped working. do you know a way that I can keep my security tight plus also use audio?

Thanks
Susan

If you disable the firewall does it work then?

What firewall are you using?
Cheers,
John

Hi,
I'm using Sygate personal firewall. I disabled it and was able to do audio again. I assume I need to keep it disabled only when using webcam!

Thanks Grinler & John..

MSN messenger uses random ports. It uses UPNP to talk to a hardware firewall/router. Don't know if UPNP applies to a software fiewall or not, but see if the Sygate firewall offer the option to enable UPNP.
