Introducing Shoot The Messenger!
For Windows XP, NT, 2000 and 2003 users
There's a new villain in town and its name is Messenger. It's been
leavin' its droppings all over town. And all over your screen.
What the heck are
these things?
You're working on your computer, minding your own business.
And bam! Suddenly something weird shows up. It's not an email. You're
not even browsing the Web, so you know it's not one of those annoying
Web pop-ups. What the heck is it?
I reckon someone just stuck an ad in the middle of your screen. In the
middle of your work. Out of the middle of nowhere.
You've seen
'em, been annoyed by 'em, been downright fed-up by 'em. They're those
nasty little pop-up windows that show up in the middle of your computer
screen, even when you're not browsing the Web.
They look like this:

They're nasty and they deserve to be shot. Well, pardner, there's a
new sheriff in town and his name's Shoot The Messenger!

The Messenger's an amazing little program. It's the sheriff that completely bans
those bad boys from ever showing up on your machine again. It takes about two minutes
to install, and Shoot The Messenger's on guard instantly, all the time.
The Messenger problem in Windows
When Windows (and we're talking NT, XP, 2000, and 2003 here)
was installed on your PC, a little program was installed with it. That
program is called the "Messenger service."
It was originally intended to let system managers on a network tell you
when the network was being worked on, and other corporate status
information. But, much like your appendix, the Messenger program was
never really used.
However, as designed by Microsoft, anyone with
a network connection can send a message to your computer and plaster up one
of those annoying windows.
There's absolutely no security protection in
Windows to prevent these message transmissions. There's not
even a password required. Heck, the bad guys don't even need to know
anything about you or your computer to send the message. They send
messages to every IP address on the Internet and just happen to find
your gate open.
How Shoot The
Messenger! kills those messages
Once you install Shoot The Messenger!, a little program
begins running in the background, watching out for intruders. First, it
turns off the Messenger service. Then, every second, it
makes sure that
the Messenger service stays off, even if some other
program tried to turn it back on.
It's this constant watchfulness
that makes Shoot The Messenger! so incredibly helpful.
![]() Most
of the time, the only evidence you'll have that Shoot The Messenger! is
guarding your PC (besides pop-ups being gone, of course), is a pair of
two very watchful little eyes in your system tray.
![]() It's
amazing how easy it is to use Shoot The Messenger!
The main screen, shown
right here, simply tells you the status of the Messenger service. For
your convenience you'll probably want to choose the "Automatically guard
from system tray" option so you can have the sheriff's protection all
the time without him getting in your way.
Your friends can still IM
you, just fine and dandy
Worried about whether you can still chat with your friends after
installing Shoot The Messenger? Don't be.
No matter whether you use Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger,
Microsoft MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger, ICQ, or even Jabber,
Trillian or others, Shoot The Messenger! makes sure each can run even
while the Windows Messenger service pop-ups are blocked.

A special treat for
our tech savvy friends ... and their Dads
If you're one of our many readers who are extremely technical savvy,
this section's for you. See, we know what you've been thinking. Yes, you
could turn off the Messenger service by hand. If you do have some
of that geek blood running through your veins, you probably have. You
could probably even walk someone through how to do it over the
telephone. Fun.
In a sense, this product's not really intended for you. It's intended
for your Dad. And mine. Especially mine. ("Hi, Dad! You know I
love ya!")
This scenario's a good part of what got us thinking when we
started developing Shoot The Messenger!
![]()
You know it'll happen. If your Dad's like mine, he'll start playing
with the Administrative Tools to see what happens. Uh, here's the
thing. If you don't know what you're doing, your computer could rest
in pieces on Boot Hill.
By the way, there's one powerful thing Shoot The Messenger! does
that just shutting down the service doesn't do: it checks every second
to be sure the service is off and locked down, and it uses almost no
cycles to do so. It's a feature that even
a geek could love.
