I just got the same thing the other day on my server. It really threw me =

We have a Windows Messenger message pop up on a machine, shown as being
sent from another host, but we don't believe anyone from the =
"originating"
host actually sent the message.
The popup offers diplomas. We've only started receiving popups =
recently
and I've advised on how users can disable the messenger service to get =
rid
of the annoyance. This particular popup did NOT appear to be a =
broadcast,
as our two NT 4 servers did not receive the message and they have =
messenger
service enabled.
Thus begs the question - is it possible to use/compromise a Windows host =
as
a proxy? If so, it may mean the "originating" host is compromised.
Thanks for any leads.
Scott
