Just received a pop up from messenger service stating that I have won a prize worth £1000,my number was chosen by the draw manager in the hourly draw.To claim the prize I have to ring a number that costs £1.50 a minute(Con?or what).Observations please.

just lol :D

you got spammed, its no more true than the spam emails that get sent.
 
Spam, nothing more, nothing less.
Feel free to call the number of course, you know how much it costs.
 
You can't win a prize in a competition you never entered!!
 
Use a firewall or disable the Messenger service. Those popups can get very annoying. :D

Woo-hoo! my lucky day.
Brb, finding an envelope...
 
Thanks for the replies people,I have a firewall,obviously not doing its job or I haven't configured it properly(NIS).I know it has been posted before but can you point me in the right direction to disable.By the way i did not ring up the number,I don't want to push my luck as I had the winner of todays Derby at Epsom.

If you want to disable these messages : Program Files : The folder " Messenger " rename it to " MessengerOFF " that should do the trick.
 
err, thats windows messenger, nothing to do with the network messenger service..
 
go to start > run and type in ' services.msc' a list of the services in windows will come up. scroll down to 'messenger' and double click it. in the window that comes up, change the setting to 'disabled' and click apply.

the messenger service and windows messenger are two different things.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
