Are you running xp? If so type msconfig in the start/run box. When thats open goto services and uncheck the messenger box. That should stop it happening again. You will need to restart your puter afterwards and uncheck the display this every time box on the popup that appears telling you you have altered your startup configuration.

Or uninstall that version of messenger and install the one that doesn't have these *LILT* popup's.   :x

OR....Open messenger go tools/options/privacy and set to block 'All other users' so the only people to see you are the ones you allow. I had the same irritation even to emailing messenger help/support and that was the definative answer.

no, this is a bit more serious than that. it's means that there is a hole in your firewall that is allowing traffic on port 135.

1.  Do you want this traffic.  No.
2.  Did you authorize this traffic.  No.

It's a hole.
Close down port 135 - set up a protocol rule to block this.
