Author How to block the MSN port

One of my customer requested me to block the msn messenger on her computer
which is on a network with another computer. The network is using a Dlink
router which has firewall capabilites. I tried to block the port 80; it
blocks the internet connection, but not the msn messenger. How can I block
the msn messenger. Any ideas?

Dilash.

Why not delete the MSN Messenger program in the Control Panel. You can
also stop the Messenger Process form loading stopping the messenger
process from loading in WIN XP. some Spammers are using the Messenger
process for unsolicited spam pop ups. The messenger program was created
to be used by network administrators.

MSN Messenger is not the messenger program which is being used by
spammers. The messenger service that is a part of the windows
operating system can be turned off in system tools but it has no
effect on MSN Messenger.
