Most people recommend blocking the Messenger Service with a broadband router and/or a software firewall. At this time you would have to check the software fire wall's system requirements to make sure it's windows 98 compatible though. The router functions are usually controlled by a simulated web form that is accessed by typing an IP address in your browser's address bar. There's some variation in arrangement and multi-levels of the web form(s) between different models. By default most routers would limit Messenger Service to messages originating on your LAN. Some router models might include automatic configuration software (on CD) that requires a more recent OS, but can still be configured manually through the browser interface.

Interesting...Webroot had a version of SpySweeper SSv.3.5 that had a shield
that blocked the Windows Messenger Service. I have had a recent increase in Bulk mail folder spam in the Hotmail after retiring that version of SSv3.5. "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Understand that Messenger Service and Windows Messenger and MSN/Windows Live
Messenger are not the same things, Jim. Jim wrote: Interesting...Webroot had a version of SpySweeper SSv.3.5 that had a shield that blocked the Windows Messenger Service.

Yes, I understand the difference. I will probably just leave it as is after
reading about winxp and 2003+servers. The shield on SSv.3.5 did reduce the spam in bulk folder though or at least it appears that way. thanks anyway. "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...
