Greetings Rancher,

Spam does not come through MSN Messenger 6. If you are seeing "pop-ups" with "Messenger
Service" in their titlebar, what you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to Windows,
*not* MSN Messenger (which are two different things) which spammers are exploiting -- this is
not Microsoft, nor can Microsoft control them anymore then they can control spam to your
e-mail inbox.

To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable the "Messenger Service", click Start,
then Run, enter "services.msc"and click OK. Scroll down to "Messenger", select it,
right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup type, choose 'Disabled' and then
choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any
real third-party applications should be effected by this.

For me these annoying pop-up windows didn't appear anymore from the moment I
switched on the internet connection firewall.
