Windows Messenger Stop. Preventing Windows Messenger alerts. Stopping Windows Messenger Service.

Windows Messenger Service is able to send messages to people. This was meant for the Systems Administrator to send alerts to users.  For example that the network was closing down for back up of files.

These messenger alerts appear similar to a pop-ups on the users display.  (Although hyperlinks are not possible, so far as I know).

This service is not related to other Messager type software.

Windows Messenger us sometimes used to transmit unwanted advertising messages.

There is software available which claims to be able to use Windows Messenger Service to send messages, (could be used for adverts), to anyone who uses Windows Messenger Service.
