In case anyone here running Win98 SE or earlier or even Windows ME (daredevils u are) the best way to block the built in messenger service is to block UDP ports 135, 137, and 138; TCP ports 135, 139, and 445 for incoming traffic.
that patch from Bad Karma[CORE] seemed to do the job, never seen the pop-up since,
Cheers m8 !! :Cheers:
