That is an indication that your system is wide open to the Internet. Just
disabling Messenger Service is like sticking your head in the sand and
hoping the problem will go away. There is a CRITICAL update available from
MS that closes one of the vulnerabilities that you should install
immediatly. See the MS Windows Update page for info.
