Either get a firewall and block incoming which you should be doing anyway or just disable the messager service.

The good old net send or windows messanger service.

Turn your firewall on it wont let in traffic on that port.

That too is fine and nice, but I happen to like/need accessing other ports. I'm using dial up and I dont really see the need for a firewall. Also, and perhaps most importantly I'm too lazy to set the damn thing up.

Firewalls are desirable though.
