Application Control - Windows Live Messenger

toddh
Hey, Is Windows Live Messenger not able to be controlled under Windows 7 64 bit? I setup a test with a Windows XP 32 bit and a Windows 7 64 bit (These are the two main operating systems we have). I was able to block Windows Live Messenger in Windows XP, however I am unable to block it in Windows 7 64 bit. Has anyone tested this? Thank you, Cheers

    Hey jak,

    thank you for the reply.

    thank you also for confirming that I am not the only one with this issue

    I did earlier in the day submit a request to the sophos team to have this added.

    I believe though that I might not have provided enough information.

    I will have to be a little bit more specific as to what isn't being blocked.

    Perhaps they will add this in their next release of applications

    I think though your assumption is correct that these are different versions.

    The thing that sort of threw me off though was that if you look at the executable, they are both named the same whether it be under Windows XP or Windows 7. I am not sure what the Application Control Service is using to identify what applications to block, but it must be more then just the exetuables name.

    Sorry, and to answer your question this is as part of the Windows Live Essentials 2011 - With only Windows Live Messenger 2011 installed.

    Cheers
