Messenger Service Pop-Up Advertising
I
despise spammers and the messages they send. The latest trend is
using the messenger service to send pop up advertising spam to
unprotected computers. It's important to note that these messages
have no relation to MSN or Windows Messenger. Messenger service is
used via the 'net send' command to send messages between networked
computers. If you don't have network access or use the 'net send'
command it's easy to disable the messenger service and eliminate the
popup activity. For more information on the Messenger service, see
Knowledge Base Article

Another method
to rid your system of this annoyance is to block NetBIOS ports 135,
137, 138. and 139 through the firewall. Each firewall uses a
different method of blocking ports. Consult the firewall
documentation or website for information on the proper procedure.
