    I tried this on my laptop and there was an error 5 which prevented me from disabling the messenger. Would this require administrator management?

    go to "Run" then type "msconfig"


    it will take you a system configuration menu....go to Startup

    and uncheck the un-needed items in the background. esp the msgservice (something like that)

    if people can get to your messenger service, they can do a lot worse things to your machine. Don't fool yourself into thinking you just secured your machine, you need to do the right thing and get a firewall between you and the internet. Disabling messenger service is usually fine, but some applications in a corporate world will need it. Also, Instant Messenger (in it's different varieties) is a different beast altogether. You can stop the unwanted messages there in the program - check the options - privacy tab.
