I have Windows XP, and have loaded onto my PC, Norton Antivirus and Personal
Firewall.
I keep getting these annoying Windows Messenger Service pop-ups (i.e.
spam!). I am aware that I could simply turn off the Messenger service, but
that wouldn't be addressing the problem.
I have checked my Personal Firewall settings, and these show that I have the
Default Inbound NetBIOS set on 'BLOCK'........so why do I still get these
damn pop-ups? (Or am I getting confused with something else?)
Also, I have done a check on the Norton (Symantec) website, where it checks
my computer settings, and it stated that my NetBIOS Availability Scan was
'SAFE', and "The scan could not access your computer's information. Norton
Internet Security prevents your computer's information from being visible on
the Internet". Or, as I said earlier, am I getting confused with something
else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
