Which port does messenger run on
Greetings Mike,
Completely blocking specific ports for the "Messenger Service" can be quite hard (there's a whole list, plus a random one) -- instead, if these "popup ads" that are appearing have "Messenger Service" in their titlebar? If so, you'll need to disable the "Messenger Service", click Start, then Run, enter "services.msc"and click OK. Scroll down to "Messenger", select it, right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup type, choose 'Disabled' and then choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any real third-party applications should be effected by this. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "mike" wrote in message ...
