Thanks for that Woody, I've been getting them quite frequently now. Well I put then to sleep now though. Thanks m8.

Glad to help out guys!A good firewall is supposed to block the spam,but I've had a couple myself.Don't use Messenger,so no big deal for me to disable the service.The instructions just set it to manual,instead of automatic.That way it is just activated when you use it.Xp Antispy removes Messenger,BTW.

Messenger Disabler
Nice little tool you can use for disabling MSN Messenger attached (or not - I don't know)
And, there is another solution :
just edit the file C:/WINNT/inf/sysoc.inf, replace all the
"HIDE" with nothing but don't remove the ","
before : WMPOCM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wmpocm.inf,HIDE,7
after : WMPOCM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wmpocm.inf,,7
go to "Add/Remove programs" and "Windows component"
there is many new things to remove like MSN Explorer and
Messenger ;o)
