>i called microsoft directly. their techs had me install
the firewall that comes with XP. it worked. thank god.
just call microsoft and explain the problem. they may
talk about a charge, but since it is a form of hacking,
it's their problem and they will help. good luck.

It is not a form of hacking.
Messenger Service is a valuable tool and of use to many.
It can also be a nuisance to those unaccustomed to it or how it works.
