I think it's a forced upgrade as they changed the protocol to block 3rd party IM apps from using the MSN Messenger network.

Actually, I think forced upgrades might help Windows security as I'm sure some users have never heard of Windows Update.

Agreed that it is a PITA for those of us who know what we are doing.

I thought Trillian opened up some serious security holes, or have they patched all those now? :D

Guess Trillian may be one of the 3rd party IM programs the new protocols are designed to block?
