As no one from microsft was willing to help. I found the
fix on Spybot. Here is the fix as it appears on the
spybot site.
I am not sure but you may not get the auto updates from
MS anymore, just just go to MS once in awhile and check
for new updates.
These are sent using the Messenger service integrated
into Windows 2000 and XP (try the 'net send' command to
see for yourself).
To disable the Messenger service, go to Start --> All
Programs --> Administrative Tools --> Component Services.
In Component Services, click on Services (Local), then on
the right side, find Messenger and disable it.
Note: not everyone will have Administrative Tools in the
Start menu. You need to make it visible under Taskbar and
Start Menu Properties (right-click on taskbar -->
Properties). The surest way to get to Component Services
is to enter %systemroot%\system32\com\comexp.msc into the
command line.
