The last thing for this session is that stupid Messenger spam! You ever had a message popup outa no where that said "free porn! Go to this website: www.somthing.com" or some other spam? (Look at attachment for example) I got 4 in a row today, they will log your IP if the send is successful. This can only happen to win2000, xp and NT users but it gets very annoying when I am trying to get somthing done, it closes all my programs. I found a way to disable this without downloading some stupid program that isn't needed. To disable This Messenger service do the following:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Messenger. Click stop, then from the scroll down box select Disabled. Then reboot your computer. If you recieve errors or suddeny programs aren't working enable it again. But I haven't have any spam, or errors with it off.

disable the 'Administrative Alerts' service as well
