Hi,

I don't know why the messenger service window always pops up, it's like some
kind of advertisment, it's just so
annoying, I remember there's a way to remove it. Can anybody tell me how?
Thanks in advance.

You need a properly configured firewall.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. The resolution is "Install firewall, block inbound
NetBIOS and UDPbroadcast traffic on your computer"

I got a McCafee firewall installed, but how can I block those traffic?

Ideally a hardware firewall but the Messenger service uses UDP ports 135,
137, and 138; TCP ports 135, 139, and 445
