Has anyone else been getting this SPAM through Windows messenger? Any way to stop it? Just to make sure I am clear I am not talking about MSN messenger, I am talking about the messenging service in XP pro.

 
jup, also get that crap. A Firewall would block that crap I guess. A stateful inspection FW. Ohtwell.
 
Good read on the subject here.

Microsoft says install a firewall. Another way is to do this.

In Windows NT, go to the Control Panel, then to Services. Highlight "Messenger" and click on "Stop."

In Windows 2000 Professional and XP, go to the Control Panel, then to Administrative Tools, and then to Services. Highlight "Messenger" and click on "Stop." You must also set the "Startup Type" to "Disabled." If you do not have enough privileges to disable services or are unsure of exactly how to do this, contact your system administrator or the Help Desk at X4357.
