Stopping Windows Live Messenger spammers

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:58:45 +0000

How-to geek wrote a great post on how to stop Windows Live Messenger (WLM) spammers.

The first time you receive a spammer message like this, you will be prompted with an option to block messages from unknown senders, which is exactly what you want to do. The problem is that if you don�€™t choose this option the first time, you won�€™t get the same option again.

Normally if you choose block, you�€™ll be notified that this blocks everybody who is not on your allow list. As far as I�€™m concerned, that�€™s just the way I like it.

If you�€™ve mistakenly or purposely chosen to allow on the earlier screen, you can still block all unknown users�€”you�€™ll just need to take a trip to the Options panel.

Here you�€™ll want to check the box for �€œOnly people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages�€�. Then you can setup your Allow list if you want, or block other people.
