We have found on one of my servers NT 4.0 and some users
several of these messages appearing in Windows Messenger
Service

"Message from RMAFFEO to <Domain_name> on 9/17/04
4:36PM hi sexy"
"Message from RMAFFEO to <Domain_name> on 9/17/04
4:36PM Hello sexy"

After clicking "ok" the message disappears.
Can someone tell us where this message came from? We have
a fire wall and up to date will all DAT files and Windows
updates. Is it a hacker or some employee who knows few
tricks?
 
These can also be generated on the local network via the net send command.
Use " net help send " to see more info on how that works. If you look in
Event Viewer/system log on the computer that received the message there may
be a record of the message . If you do not need the messenger service for
any applications or admin tasks you can disable it on all or selected
computers. --- Steve

Take a look through your user's folders and see if any of them have
winpopup.exe - that's what the students here used to use to send
annoying messages round the network. Users 'could' be using the command
line, but my guess is that they aren't.... Of course they could be
bringing it in on a floppy and running it from there.
