Messenger Service

I recently had a popup dialog box appear on my computer that read Windows Messenger. The dialog box said "Message from SUPERMAN to 24.185.*.* on 3/3/2002 11:02:07 PM

SUP Ifenna I OWN YOU PC NOW!!!!! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH". I was like how did they do that. I learned that the service that automatically starts with WinXP allows you to do this. I checked EventViewer and this is what it reads: "Application popup: Messenger Service : Message from SUPERMAN to 24.185.*.* on 3/3/2002 11:02:07 PM

SUP Ifenna I OWN YOU PC NOW!!!!! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp." What I want to know is how did this person do it? and How can I do it?
 
No, he did probably did nothing, but if you got that your system is unsecure and you should secure it. First, get a firewall software, like ZoneAlarm. Then, disable the messenger service in Administrative Tools->Services. Open Messenger and click Stop and change the menu to Manual. That will disable the popup messages.

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?
