Annoying messenger service POPUP Ads

[jagar_freebsd]

How many of you got bombed by these messenger service ads. . .
(all win systems) heard that later service packs got the fixes.
I don't have service pack 2 nor 1 with patches.
but if these popups keep coming, , ,
Try this.
run > services.msc > when local services window opens > find messenger and double click > and choose disabled & stop > OK.
And you will never see another messenger popup.
Want to be one of them?
send your self a messenger popup to see how it works.
run cmd: type > NET SEND <TARGET COMPUTER ADDRESS> <Messege(popup ads making me crazy)>

With all that blaster and 50 milion bugs that microsoft have fixed, running a non-patched XP is like dancing in a mine field
