Hi Everyone
My girlfriend and I both use the same computer but have different msn messenger log-ons. Recently, she has been getting lots of “porn bots” (the only thread I could find here but was locked) messages about viewing this webcam and that. If we leave the house (with her connected / idling in messenger) for over an hour, we get home to find at least 5 if not 10 separate pop ups.
Obviously, this is not the kind of thing she wants to get messages about and we wondered if there was anyway to stop it happening. I have tried disabling “messenger” in the services control panel but to no avail (a tip I saw on a webpage).
Can anyone suggest anything that might help?
Thank you for your time, if you have any questions, please email me : dark_knight10@hotmail.com
First of all we do not email, we share as much information as we can.
Just block all other users. To do that go to:
Main MSN Window > Tools > Options > Privacy >
Make sure that this is checked:
Only people on my allow list can see my online status and see me online!!!Are you and your girlfriend currently using Windows XP?
If so, this might is what you’re looking for: http://www.auburn.edu/oit/security/messengerService.html or go to start > run > net stop messenger.
😀 Thank you 😀
Firstly, thank you for resolving the issue – I went to the screen as described and removed [all other users] as being allowed to contact us / see us online. I only wrote the email address for technical queries as I dont really like putting up my OS / Set up in forums … I appreciate that its all about sharing though :rolleyes:
Thank you for the services > messenger comment as well – I did do that prior to writing here.
Once again, thank you for the help – my girlfriend is very pleased ;).
Nice to see your problem solved. For future reference – NT Platform’s Messenger Service Pop-ups have no relation to MSN Messenger. For more info, feel free to read up on this thread.
