Hi,

To disable the Messenger Service:

Go to Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. Double click the
Messenger Service and change Automatic to Disabled, then click the Stop
button.

Or use this automated edit:

Disable Messenger Service (Line 95)

Did you try a firewall? Your Netbios ports are still open if you didn't,
only now you can't see when they're being attacked!
