ThA_FiLeR Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Man, MSN sucks, I have had this continously for the past week, I even deleted MSN Messenger and the s*** still comes up.. I heard tris mention before that you can block a specific port to prevent this from happening, anyone have any info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enonemoose Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 Windows/MSN Messenger and the Messenger service in Windows are two totally separate things. Removing the instant messenger won't fix the Messenger service issue because they're unrelated. It's the local TCP port 135 that is involved with this spam. Turn off the service in Windows or block the port with your firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
