Mostly used for admin notification. I don't know of any applications that need to have it turned on. Some antivirus applications may use it to notify about virus. As a matter of fact if I am correct Microsoft is going to shut the service of by default as of XP service pack 2. -SKP -----Original Message----- From: wirepair [mailto:wirepair () roguemail net] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 10:03 AM To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Which software requires the Messenger Service? lo all, I would like to compile a list of software which relies on the Messenger Service for inter process communication. I believe some backup software packages due but i'm not entirely positive. Has anyone ever shut the service off and had other services complain? Thanks a lot for your input and if I get enough I will post a list of the packages on my site sh0dan.org.
