solution here!!
please spread this fix around thanks
--------------- Get rid of netbios messenger spam instantly, for free Windows messenger spam is annoying, but easy to get rid of. Do not pay for this service; you can do it easily yourself. This is a reprint from a newsgroup on the fix to this annoying problem, and it works. Screw the assholes who want to make money off this exploit, and screw Microsoft for keeping us all in the dark on how to fix it. Please read the short instructions carefully to harmlessly turn this feature off: "What you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to Windows, not MSN/Windows Messenger (which is two different things) which spammers are exploiting -- this is not Microsoft, nor can Microsoft control them anymore then they can control spam to your e-mail inbox. The 'Messenger Service' was designed to send quick messages (like you're seeing) across local networks -- but since the Internet is one large network, it's been exposed to everyone. To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable the Messenger service. Click Start, and then Run. Type services.msc into the box and click OK. Scroll down to Messenger, select it by right-clicking it and then choose Properties. Under subcategory startup type, click on arrow then choose Disabled, then choose the Stop button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any real third-party applications should be affected by this." "Price" wrote in message ... For the love of Pete....Could someone please tell me how to completely un-install Messenger??? My OS is XP....Although I have completely deleted the program...I still get these messages (mostly perverted ones at that)...How in the heck are they still accessing my computer??? I want to hurt the person that made this stupid program. Thanks for your help!! |
