OK - i need to ask somehting that has been pissing me off for the past week that i finished doin a clean install on my putter
I use my Mcaffe firewall to filter my outgoin and incomming. I use Ad-Aware and SpyBot. And i use window washer to cover my tracks every night.
But for some freaken reason i keep getting hit by ads saying iam open to IM attacks that are a part of XP. Then they list a web site where i can go buy some freaken product to stop this.......
I dont want to buy anything _ but why am i getting hit by IMs that advertise this crap ??? anyone else having this problem or atleast how can i stop them ?

Yea, Messenger service is a pain if you are not firewalled, why in the heck did they even include that in XP Home? I can see it's use only on servers and on XP in the enterprise, but home edition?

Yes, I see no reason why Microsoft ever implemented that damn messenger service very annoying if you dont know how to get rid of it.
I mean unless your a administrator and need to send messages over your companies network to someone it is very lame.
I sometimes use it at LAN parties to piss off my friends when they are playing games, funny to watch their games minimize and have one of my false advertisements and joke messages pop up.
Other than that, its lame.
You're exactly right, they had to be smoking crack when they decided to make the Messenger service automatically start by default. In both Pro and Home editions! (I could almost see it being used in the Pro version, but home?!?!)Originally Posted by Omyn
I've been at friends' houses before and watched them use their computers. I've seen literally 10 Messenger SPAMs within 2 minutes. One guy was seriously ready to throw his computer out the window. I showed him how to remove the service and his ulcers went away! :upside
