Comment: Hey, I'm managing a 70 computer network under a domain of 140 PCs... would you recomend me to enable the Messenger Service for Windows? I'm not talking about MSN Messenger, I'm talking about the one that comes with windows in the service section. Most pc use Windows XP PRo, only 5 use WIN 2k and 5 of servers with WIN SERVER 2k3... thanks,

Reply: The Messenger Service for Windows is also used by spammers (popup advertisements). Better disable it.
