This is incorrect.
What spammers are using is called "windows messenger service, which has
absolutely nothing to do with the windows messenger or any other instant
messaging program, despite the similarities in the names.
The Shoot the messenger program disables the windows messenger service
which can be found in windows xp, nt4 and 2000, and will not, in any way at
all, effect the use of windows messenger, msn messenger, or anyother
instant messaging programs. Please see
http://grc.com/STM/ShootTheMessenger.htm to find out more.
Hopefully this will clear this confusion up.
