本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛In a new low, spammers are now abusing a seemingly-innocuous feature in Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems to place pop-up messages on systems with high-speed connections to the Internet.
The NET command is used to send such messages (e.g. net send * Hello World), and the messenger service (different than Windows Messenger) allows users to receive such text messages. By default, it is running and active on all Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems. Here's how to turn it off:
1. Open the Services window (services.msc).
2. Double-click the Messenger entry in the list.
3. Click Stop to close the service.
4. Select Disabled from the Startup type list to prevent it from loading 5. automatically the next time Windows starts.
5. Close the Services window when you're done.
Once it has been disabled, you will no-longer receive such messages. Note that many firewalls also prevent this type of data from reaching your computer in the first place, but it certainly can't hurt to turn off the service anyway.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
