Yahoo Messinger Problem

I have a Dell Inspiron laptop on a network at home and for some reason when you try to log on to Yahoo messinger it wont let you sign in. It works fine on all the other computers just wont work on this laptop. When you click the sign in button it pauses for a second then nothing happens. Seems to me its not connecting to the yahoo server for some reason.

I checked the firewall exceptions and Yahoo FT server and Yahoo messinger are both added and the boxes checked.....

Anyone have any idea what I need to check?

I figured it out earlier this evening, It was Trend Micros Internet security (didnt realize that was turned on at first) that was blocking it. Turned it off logged on to messinger then turned the firewall back on in Internet Security and all is fine now!
