Yeah, and if you get messenger spam then you do not have a firewall or
it is configured to let windows components run as servers against the
internet. I.e. not safe. So advice should be to secure computer first...
Of course there is no point in having unnessecary servers running on
your computer, but if your computer is open to the internet that will be
the least of your concern.
