Get a fire wall or turn on the built-in one.

or

If They say "Messenger Service" in the top frame. There
are Several ways to do it.

Disable Method: Start > Run > Type "services.msc" >ok ,
on the services and applications find "Messenger" and
right click on it and choose properties choose "Disable"
in the middle Apply > ok.

or

Start Method : goto Start > Run > Type "msconfig" on the
Start Config. Menu go to Services Tab , go down the list
to "Messenger" uncheck, apply> ok re-boot. you will get a
warning when you re-boot >ok Done.

or

If you don't want it or need it or the Alerter Service
Delete it. Most don't, unless you are on a network, other
than your own. The Alerter Service is used on a network to
send virus alerts. You have to be on a network before
either have any use.

To Delete the Messenger Service:

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: sc delete messenger.
Reboot.

or

Or go to Start/Run/Regedit and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
Messengerservice Delete Key. You can export it in case you
want it again,
then delete. Reboot

Go to start->Run. Type in "gpedit.msc", click OK. In the window that comes
up, under "User Configuration" expand the group "Windows Components". Click
on "Messenger" then on the right side change the do not allow messenger to
be ran to "enable".

Do not rely on simply disabling the Messenger service. that leaves the
hole through which these things are arriving wide open, and it is the
same one that the Blast worm came through. Enable the firewall - in Net
Connections, r-click on the connection, Properties and check the top box
on the Advanced page
