Just disable the Messenger service (go to Start>Run type 'Services.msc' to
get to the services management console).
 
.....that's the Windows Messenger service, not MSN Messenger (which is an
instant messaging client). Note that even for messenger spam, disabling the
Windows Messenger service is *not* the answer - the real answer is to get a
firewall that blocks those ports. However, I'm not sure that this pertains
to the OP's question..
 
What exactly are you seeing? A lot more info would help. Do you have your
firewall enabled? Do you see any errors in your system or app event logs?
