Msn Messenger Spam!

[Sash]

Is this new or what but recently I am getting a load of spam from contacts not on my list from MSN Messenger. I have now uninstalled it completely from my XP system but its a bugger since my real life friend uses it and he won't use any thing else but I anit useing a spece of rubbish!

Any help would be cool to stop the SPAM! Whats MS trying to prove, letting unkown people attacking others by its software.

Open MSN Messenger then open the settings, go tot he tab "privacy" (or something like that, depending on your language/version of Messenger)

Check the box "Only allow people on the allow-list to contact me"

Click OK :)
