How to turn off Windows Messenger Service
This page does not address, nor is it intended to address, problems
associated with services involved with Instant Messaging.

It has come to our attention that some third party has been directing
users to this page via pop-ups. We do not condone this practice and
are not the source of any pop-up that provides a link to this page. We
only provide these directions as a public service and have no

What Windows Messenger Service Allows to Happen on Your Computer


Should a pop up box appear on your screen with the words "Messenger
Service" in the title bar such as the one below, chances are that you
have Windows Messenger Services enabled.





In their initial state, Microsoft Windows operating systems (98, ME,
XP, 2000, NT) allow anyone on the internet to pop up Windows on your
screen. There is no need for them to know anything about your computer
and your computer does not care who does it.


Even less savory individuals may pop up messages on your screen that
try to fool you into taking actions that may not be in your best
interest.


The important thing to remember is that anyone, anywhere in the world
can pop up one of these messages on your computer. At this time it
looks as though all these messages will have "Messenger Service" in
the Window title. It would be wise to verify with support staff any
such message that appears on your computer that instructs you to to
take actions that may divulge sensitive information, change your
password, leads you to a web site, or take other, unusual actions on
your computer.

Also know that spam senders are using the Windows Message Service as
another way to distribute their advertisements.

Keep in mind that faculty and staff are advised to check with their
computer support staff before disabling any service so that you do not
inadvertently disable a service that your department uses.

your computer, you can disable the Messenger service. Its easy to
