Do you think the spammers are really too annoying expecially you find they are just some useless advertising site? Today we will take a look at how to block them on MSN or Windows Live Messenger.
The first time you receive a spammer message, you will be prompted with an option to block messages from unknown senders, which is exactly what you want to do. Keep in mind choose this option (Block messages from unknown senders) the first time.
Note: The problem is that if you don't choose this option the first time, you won't get the same option again.
Once you choose block, you'll be notified that this blocks everybody who is not on your allow list.
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 "Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages" and then you can setup your Allow list if you want or block other people.
If you are using Pidgin to access your Windows Live / MSN Messenger / Hotmail / Whatever MS, re-named it as today account. Just go to Tools Privacy:
Then choose the account in the "Set privacy for" drop-down, and choose "Allow only the users on my buddy list".
It's done! You will never be annoyed by those abnoxious spammers.
