they are not using the software, they are selling it... do not be
surprised when unscrupulous persons (AKA Spammers) buy it (or more
likely pirate it off Warez sites) and start spamming to randomly
selected IP numbers... When this gets out, especially when the next
version of it which they are trying to develop gets out, everybody using
that Ms-windows specific messenger service will be subjected to it.
Oh, by the way, Admins like to send messages out to people on their
networks. It helps to tell people to save what they're doing when you've
got to do an unscheduled server boot or shutdown to fix it. Just pulling
the plug leads to lots of disgruntled users, giving them adequate
warning along with an expected shutdown time and an expected duration
helps to keep them much happier and on your side...
So just turning off the service won't work.

I meant a sysadmin is stupid if he doesn't know it can be turned off. Are
you a Windows sysadmin? Helping your friends with their computers doesn't
count. If it's your job, then you qualify.

1. I'm glad I don't run Windows...
If you're running Windows, try this:
file:///c:/aux/aux
I know it does something nasty, but I'm not running Windows, so I
can't tell. :-) This is one of many reasons I'm glad I only run
FreeBSD on my machine. I booted Windows off of my machine, so the
only OS on it is FreeBSD. I have a cable modem too, so the security
level of Windows just doesn't cut it. And those viruses -- yikes! No
thanks -- no more Windows for me, dudes... Windows itself is a virus.
