Windows Messenger Service is a command-line utility that make pop-up dialogs show up across a LAN.

Nothing to do with MSN.





Command line? It connects to the same exact service as MSN. Is there something I'm violently missing here?

Yes.  That screenshot is not of the program/service we are talking about here (I know the title is confusing, thank MS for that).

We are talking about the command line command "net send 10.0.0.6" and the messenger service which can be found in the services MMC.

We are not talking about MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger.

Ah, so Windows Messenger and Windows Messenger Service are two completely different things.

Thanks, bill.

Welcome to our forum! We will assist you in world domination to our best effort.

grc.com is considered lame by some people. However, it makes Windows more usable for people who are forced to it (like at work), by disabling the uPNP port for example, which can be used to control a Windows XP infected computer.
