Spammers reach an all time low. - GoFuckYourself.com

I'm sure you guys have been getting those popup windows that look like a Windows prompt, but they're not.

Ever since the mention of the new software that does this, on the boards lately, I've been getting almost a dozen of these things a day.

I'm not even going to mention the name of this program, but it can spam a whole block of IP's, easily.

The posts talking about it did nothing, except drawing spammers attentions to it.

american pervert · 11-01-2002, 05:52 PM

this isn't new software, its a default app in windows. turn it off, no more msgs.

dude, he's right, the program isn't new. messanger (not msn messanger) is a feature of windows and this program just exploits that feature. just disable/uninstall it.

Its on Microsoft's site. But Here's a short to the point procedure courtesy of the GFY User named "Media"

DISABLE WINDOWS MESSENGER (not msn messenger)

Windows 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 and click Apply at the bottom.
6. Click OK to exit window.

Windows 2000
1. Click on the Start button -> Settings -> Control Panel.
2. Double click on 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 and click Apply at the bottom.
6. Click OK to exit window.

dickblast · 11-01-2002, 07:58 PM

i believe u go:

control panels -> admin tools -> services -> messenger -> stop

yep in xp thats how u do it should be similar in 2k

dickblast · 11-01-2002, 07:59 PM

grr

copy/paster!

Turboface · 11-01-2002, 11:46 PM

Have any of you other guys gotten these things, or is it just me?

becca · 11-01-2002, 11:50 PM

I'd love to be able to murder a few fuckin' spammers. I've disabled everything I can, and I've tried to hide from them and they don't leave me alone. Bleh! Free beer to whoever brings me a spammers head. (Granted you bring me the head before the husband drinks all the beer.)

I havn't seen it, yet then again, I don't use windows except to play a few games (which happens after I physically unplug my network connection)
It's a standard windows being over-permissive to make it easier for MCSE (must call someone experienced) clowns
to get fancy features working on their network. It's on by default,
many don't know how to turn it off, so it's an ideal spam mechanism.

No different than javascript popup windows to those poor suckers
that still use IE really. When your computer opens windows you
didn't ask it to, it's time to figure out what is fucked up with
your computer.

Turboface · 11-02-2002, 12:44 AM

Spammers walk among us - Believe it.

They're everywhere.

dickblast · 11-02-2002, 12:46 AM

btw i just noticed

u have to DISABLE the service, right click it and select disable in properties

or it just turns it off till u log on again. i think u have to choose from the drop down menu where it says 'automatic' i forget i just closed it earlier cause i stopped but was still getting msgs after a reboot

sneaky bitches

Well, Pandora's Box has already been opened, so I'll just call it for what it is - DirectAdvertiser.

That article I pointed out, a few posts ago, says,

'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.'

The article also mentions that spammers like it because spamming laws do not apply to it (like spammers are so concerned about the law).

jimmyf · 11-02-2002, 12:02 PM

Here's 1 for win98 users: You should set below

Internet Options
Connections

Lan Settings
Advance

Automatic configuration
Check Automatically detect setting

Proxy server
Check the box (Use proxy server for Lan)
go to Advance

Proxy address to use at Gopher
Gopher: localhost port 1
