    Getting Windows Messenger Spam?

    Good story about that exploit.

    We've been getting them here, all you do is turn off the messenger service, and they go away.

    Ooops, forgot to post the story:

                    just so you know
                    According to Flynn, many network administrators are puzzled over how the ads have weaseled through firewalls onto users' computers. While Windows Messenger traditionally uses commonly protected ports 137 and 139, Flynn said the recent pop-ups appear to use port 135, which is often left unprotected by a firewall because it's a vital conduit for communicating with a Microsoft service called RPC.

                    --- is CRAP.. EVERY administrator know that he has to shut these 3 portnumbers both UDP and TCP traffic.. AVERY PROF. xDSL or cabelmodem connection have these ports blocked... its a wild goose.... the guy that wrote it know NOTHING... let me say it an other way .. 99.99999999999999999% of the time you CANT use the netsend command over the net....

                    If you dont have a software firewall by now, then get one got damm it... For no other reason, then at least to stop Microsoft from Leaking your info.

                          Here's a trick that many people haven't got wind of lately...

                          The easiest way to cut down approx 90% of your "MSN" related spam, is to have Pimpdog (Trey Hickey's) local ISP cut off his connection. =)

                              in case you don't know how, this is how you turn of the messenger service in xp




                              1-Click on the Start button and open the control panel.
                              2-Open the Performance and Maintenance control panel and go to Administrative Tools.
                              3-Now double-click on Services, then scroll to Messenger.
                              4-Double-click Messenger and click Stop to stop the service.
                              5-Change the startup type to Disable (see an example).
                              I can resist everything except temptation
