Based upon the text it looks like a Windows "Messenger Service" Pop-Up. There have been
reports of it being send via UDP.

To disable the Windows Messenger Service, you can open a Command Prompt and type the
following commands...

sc stop Messenger
sc config Messenger start= disabled

A Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41 will also block this at the WAN/LAN interface and such
messages won't be seen on a LAN PC.

Thank you David but the point is - as I said - I dont have messenger
services installed much less running. In fact all its dll's were manually
removed when the OS was installed. It isnt even vaguaely safe to have
that stuff installed or running.

Node 221.x.x.x. have been flooding the net with these messages for some
weeks now linking various web addresses and as you identified they have
this week stared using UDP also. Clearly this is not legitimate.

221.x.x.x is the only domain on the entire net I am seeing these from and
since I'm on dialup with dynamic IP addressing they clearly are broadcast
not targeted. (No I dont ARP for them I've checked these are
entirely incoming non solicited)

Clearly they are designed to get people to go to these web sites - and
also they appear to have hidden information in the TCP headers.
Given the country of origin "claimed" by the address I think they should
be of concern.

Perhaps I've overestimated the knowledge in this newsgroup - sorry.

Don't confuse the Mesenger program with the NT Messenger Service !

Like I said, use a Router and the PC will not even see this traffic.

You stated -- "...appear to have hidden information in the TCP headers"
It is a UDP broadcast. There is no connection. It was NOT TCP, "Protocol: UDP (0x11)".

You also stated -- "Perhaps I've overestimated the knowledge in this newsgroup - sorry.
I hate it when people bite the hand that's feeds them.

Like I said they have been transmitting TCP and now have started using
UDP which prompted my interest in making knowledge of this wider - I did
not post the TCP version as I'm unwilling to spread the headers.

Burying your head in the sand - or in this case a router does nothing to
make the network safer. Such an act indicates stupidity beyond belief.
Advising people to ignore these things is IMHO simply criminal.
I can only feel sorry for anyone following the links on your sig.

Your responses are either deliberate misdirection or simple ignorance.
As I also said - this group has clearly lost all competence.
I shan't trouble you again.

"They" have been using UDP since these Messenger service spams first started.

Quoting David:
- ------
To disable the Windows Messenger Service, you can open a Command Prompt and
type the
following commands...

sc stop Messenger
sc config Messenger start= disabled
- ------

Hence disabling the service and completely blocking any possible
exploitation of it, the opposite of burying one's head in the sand. He has
give you a method which does not "patch" or "work around" the issue, but
solves it.
Such an act indicates stupidity beyond belief.
Advising people to ignore these things is IMHO simply criminal. I can

OTOH you could spend all of your waking time sending abuse reports to
network administrators that don't care, don't have the time or networks
that ignore abuse reports.

I would advise that you stop throwing around offensive, personal statements
and give yourself five or six years of computer and Internet-related
experience before posting in Usenet again, on this subject. That way you
won't be regarded as ignorant or rude again.
