I was talking to my friends on MSN and he mentioned this to me and said there are people on our university's residence network using that program to record everybody's conversation.
Due to my limited knowledge regarding MSN protocols and network technology in general, is this really feasible? If it is as simple and easy-to-use as the description states, then this could be a big security compromise for all MSN users, are there anyway to counter this?
Thanks.

Try using Trillian ( http://www.download.com/Trillian/30...0-10047473.html ) instead. It might make your end of conversation harder to sniff out.

Priceless. And the uber-poor grammar makes it that much better.

Oh and to answer your question: yes, it is that easy. I'd say to try downloading the program and see for yourself, but there's no telling whether it's got some malware on it.
