Accept incoming network connection?

For some reason, every time i open ichat now i receive this message:
Do you want the application "iChat.app" to accept incoming network connections?
Each time it happens, i choose allow, and it still does nothing to stop it
Anyone else getting this and know how to fix it?

Have just restored this morning's SuperDuper backup..

I did what you suggested in the last paragraph, checked the 10.5.2 Combo sha was ok before using it. Dropped the package onto Pacifist, ran verify first, and was surprised 300+ of my files had the wrong checksum.. (did my original 10.5.2 update go wrong?), anyway I went ahead with the install, accepted a bunch of things underway(?), and restarted.

It booted ok, but I quickly went mad with GoogleDesktop agent repeatedly wanting to 'relaunch,ignore or report', none of which helped, and I couldn't kill the process, grrr! The same with iChat, likewise ClamXav, and I decided things weren't so bad before after all - VINE viewer screen shares with no problem 😉

I'll wait for 10.5.3.. thanks for your help though Ralph.

Ahh.

It is always worthwhile using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions after any Update or Install

I see you also had an Anti-virus app running which may not have helped.

Noted about 10.5.3
