 I receive the following error after upgrading to Pidgin 2.5.2.
 (I forget the previous version number, but I think it was low 2.x).
 I have rebooted, verified that MSN messenger works, and temporarily all
 sorts of firewalls and virus protection systems.  I do not use a proxy.

 "Our protocol is not supported by the server."

 The debug log is:

Comment:

 I'd wager you're running a firewall such as the one included with AVG
 antivirus, which actively modifies packets coming from the MSN servers.
 Getting rid of that should solve the problem.
