IIS Server Security >> POP up messeges ... is there any way to stop them

You need a firewall. Search google for software firewalls, and they should
solve the problem. The messages themselves aren't a security problem, but
it's a forewarning to possible holes. Check out www.zonealarm.com for a
very good free personal firewall

IIS Server Security >> POP up messeges ... is there any way to stop them

Stop the messenger service if you don't need it.
Enable XP ICF - this should give you basic firewall needs.

How do I stop pop-ups from ocurring.  They even happen if 
I don't have a browser open.

6. Source Code to Filter out WindowsMessenger POP-UPS 

I've read the iissecurity faq's in this.  i have a 
firewall, I need those TCP Ports open (135-139), but not 
UPD ports and my firewall isn't that granular.  The port 
is open or closed.

Is there source code (VB, C++, C, C# for either MS VS6 
or .Net compiles) I can run for my Win2000 server that 
will allow me to define wich ports and which protocol to 
filter on so I can selectivel edit pass either pass thru 
or filter out requests - to block the SPAM POPUPS.

Oddly, the ONLY POPUS I get are from companies who admit 
they are annoying, but visit out site, drop off $25 and 
you too can download our not quite useful utility so we 
can programatically stop your Messenger Service, which I 
kinda want to leave started.

I've done searches for several days and while I haven't 
found any code to prevent problem issues, I've found lots 
and lotsof code samples (all compilable on linux boxes) to 
kill and/or main a variety of MS O/S's, Services, whatever.

If I can get this source code working I promise to offer 
the source code and/or the binaries FREE to anyone who can 
do an FTP.

Even pointing me to a book and/or SDK that describes the 
process would be appreciated.

Granted, my firewall is mostly just a low-end LinkSys DSL 
Router, I wouldn't mind upgrading to a router/firewall 
that allows a real scripting/programming interface to 
apply pass/fail rules to - provided the router isn't one 
of the $30K wonder.  Which certainly explains why my 
router (with only an HTML point/click interface) cost so 
little.
