Shoot The Messenger is a very simple tool that
helps you get rid of annoying IP based Messenger popup ads (the
ones that use the Windows Messenger service). These popups are
unlike regular popups, since they abuse the Messenger Service,
which is intended to send text messages across a network, using the
computer's IP address. They can appear as dialog box on your
desktop if you have the Messenger Service enabled and are not using
a firewall.
Shoot The Messenger will display the current
status of the Messenger Service and allows you to turn it off/on
with a simple click, without having to go into the Windows
configurations panel. The program does not need to be running after
the service has been turned on or off. It can also be used from the
command line. (see picture 1).
