you may need to put the ip address instead of computer name, if you are working over the internet.

Go to GRC.com website and test spam message on your messenger program, if it's popped up, and you can get ZoneAlarm Pro (if you're on broadband connections). the firewall would block port 445 for a messenger spams. btw, you must disable XP's own firewall before you install the ZoneAlarm Pro!
Also MSN Messenger, go to TOOL then OPTIONS, go to PRIVACY tab and see the "ALL OTHER USERS" then move to block area. you'll not getting spammed messages.
