A new wave in Internet advertising is coming. Its called
the Messenger
service and its built directly into your Windows operating
system.
It is only a matter of time before the email spammers that
fill your inbox

Hey there, I'd just thought I would let you know that
there is a very
fascinating web site showing me and my friends that I
think you may
find interesting. Why not Check out
www.teenssexfactory.com

Hope to see you there soon

What do I do to stop them?

Greetings --

Use the firewall to block UDP ports 135, 137, and 138; TCP ports
135, 139, and 445. You may also disable Inbound NetBIOS (NetBIOS over
TCP/IP). You'll have to follow the instructions from firewall's
manufacturer for the specific steps.
