Shoot The Messenger
(ver 2003)
Abandoned Freeware


Tool to assist in deactivating MicroSoft Windows Messenger server.

"Even before the latest DCOM/RPC vulnerability, many Windows users 
were being annoyed by "pop-up spam" notices appearing on their 
desktops. This intrusion is also facilitated by an exploitation of 
port 135. The "Shoot The Messenger" utility furthers the security of 
Windows by quickly and easily shutting down the "Windows Messenger" 
server that should never have been running by default in the first 
place."
