ARGH! Help!
« on: October 24, 2002, 06:08:03 PM »
What is this? And how do I get rid of it?

I'm talking about the 'Messenger' box in the middle of the picture in case anyone didn't get that.

Yea, har har har, really funny intil it happens to you!! :-x

@ Ilwrath

Thank you for that article, that was a good constructive answer to a genuine concern (of mine).
So, would it be enough to disable the desktop messenger? I can't be arsed to install a bloody software firewall again, it's hell! May have to get a router, then.

@ Elektro

This has nothing to do with MSN Messenger

@ Whabang

Yes, it's about time I run AdAware again, though I don't think it can help me in this case

@ Blahblahchangeoperatingsystemgetanamigablahblah

Ok, then GIVE ME A FRIGGING AMIGAONE ALREADY!!

what does tjenesten mean?
It means 'The Service' as in Windows 2000's 'Services'

I have now disabled the Services:
Messenger
and
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service

Will this do the trick?
What does NetBIOS do, besides spam me?

all the same schitt  :-P
Erm ... no
Windows Messenger service is a 'service' for adminstrators to send administrative messages to other users on a computer or local network (I think).
Msn Messenger is a program you use to chat with your friends (like ICQ)
