Live Messenger Beta

[Glory Hornet]

Hi there, just a quick query ever since installing the Live Messenger Beta,
I have got a new port being used in my UPnP Log on my router.

Port 25002 Protocol UDP. upon searching the internet all I can find out
about this port is the following..

Port Number: 25002
TCP / UDP: UDP
Delivery: No
Protocol / Name: icl-twobase3
Port Description: icl-twobase3
Virus / Trojan: No

Side note: UDP port 25002 uses the Datagram Protocol, a communications
protocol for the Internet network layer, transport layer, and session layer.
This protocol when used over PORT 25002 makes possible the transmission of a
datagram message from one computer to an application running in another
computer. Like TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP is used with IP (the
Internet Protocol) but unlike TCP on Port 25002, UDP Port 25002 is
connectionless and does not guarantee reliable communication; it's up to the
application that received the message on Port 25002 to process any errors
and verify correct delivery.

or

port 25002 (UDP) - MOTD - Trojan

or

Alternate SMTP port (optional). It may be of use if your ISP blocks standard
SMTP port. Alternative SMTP port number is 25002.

Is this anything that I should worry about?? I have done a full Antispyware
and antivirus scan, but no Trojans have been found.

thanks for any help

I believe that port is in support of MSN Games. The TABS in MSN Messenger
automatically hookup to sites that MOST people do not want.

There is no way to selectively turn off certain TABS in MSN Messenger. I
request a lot of people have been asking for.

Most of the TABS I will never use.
