GHULAM,

If you are using IE6 or later you can restrict sites from incoming access.

Much eaiser to provide a site link:

If your router can block IP address's then stopping these should stop MSN
207.46.0.45
65.54.157.111
213.253.9.72
146.101.162.215
207.68.178.61
207.46.0.145
213.254.245.30
213.200.97.62
213.254.245.30
213.200.100.30

No it doesnt stop after inputting these IPs

as an administrator - do this:

Start, run.....

GPEDIT.MSC

You can go under computer configuration, administrative templates, windows messenger, and shut it off there.



Thanks,

Why not just uninstall it?

 

[porkchopexpress]

Are you talking about Windows Messenger or MSN messenger?

Both are very difficult to stop as they use a selection of ports and can use port 80 as well. The best way is to uninstall it as stduc says of use a third party app like App Killer (It's free).
