  While you can still disable the Messenger service, I would only bother to
do this on a machine with severely limited RAM and CPU.
  The usual issue with the Messenger service is its abuse to deliver pop-up
ads.  But if spammers can get to your Messenger service, then they (and
various nasty worms and viruses...) can also get to your Windows shares.
Killing the Messenger service won't secure your shares.  Securing your
NetBIOS-related ports (135, 137, 139 and 445) from the Internet will, and
will protect your Messenger service from abuse in the process.

  (You can secure them with a variety of approaches, including the XP
firewall.  Visit www.grc.com and follow the links to "Shields Up!" to find
out if your security on these ports is adequate or not.)
