Agreed. If you don't have one, get one yesterday. Many good, relatively inexpensive choices, some free/personal use.

I believe they are from outside sources though -- with titles like GoLarger and 9 inches.. I was just wondering if there was way to block net send messages from being received from outside sources, without use of a firewall or disabling any thing else that might use the messenger service. I'm thinking the firewall is the only way to go.

Here's a post I dug out of the archives by Mr. Espinola: "Rename NET.EXE to something ambiguous. Put the following script called "NET.BAT" in your <C:\WINNT\system32> directory. Give the script READ/EXECUTE permissions ONLY for their group membership privileges. Removing such permissions as "List Folder / Read Data" will prevent them from seeing what is actually going on. ========== @ECHO OFF IF /I "%1" EQU "send" ( ECHO. ECHO NET SEND USAGE IS ADMINISTRATIVELY PROHIBITED ECHO. PAUSE ) IF /I "%1" NEQ "send" ( RENAMEDNET.EXE %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 ) ==========" You might be able to do this out of group policies...
