FYI, what you have done by disabling Windows Messenger is cured the symptom, not the disease. The real issue is that you have no firewall protection, that's the problem you should be solving. Windows Messenger is an innocuous system service that is abused by the SPAMmers. If you block them with a decent firewall, you'll be far better off.
