Our firewall (or so im told) is a linksys cable/dsl modem. It was set up by an outside contractor while I was still away at university. I can get in there and change the filters. At the moment it does not look to be filtering anything, but it only lets me filter a range of ports not individual ones. Am I safe blocking off UPD 135 through 138 and TCP 135 through 445?

Then you definitely have your firewall ports too loosely configured.  Those messages come in on  UDP ports 135, 137, and 138; TCP ports 135, 139, and 445, which should almost NEVER be opened up to the outside world on a Windows based server.

Three words to stop these ads:
 
FIREWALL, firewall, FireWall
 
If you repect your site's content and your databases, get any kind of firewall and get it out there in front of your web servers.

A while back there was something on the list about these stupid Messenger Service pop up ads. I looked in the archive but found nothing on them.
Did anybody find a free way to stop them? They are coming in on the web server and I have put up with them for a while, now they are just making me angry...
