Comment #3 is exactly why any kind of messenger program should be blocked from a school, is that kid retarded?

oh yeah, and a response to Antonio, Msn is not the cause of the bad grammar, your right, instead its our failing education system and lack of discipline..

I have to say I actually take offence from the fact some idiotic nobody has claimed that msn is the cause of bad grammar. Why not go all out and ban the mobile phone? Let's regress to a stage in which communication was just beginning.

I agree the lower years in school should not be accessing msn because of the amount of work they have but in sixth form there is NOTHING to do in your free periods. And don't say we could be doing work.. because I've done it already. Msn is cheap and a convenient way to communicate. The school blocks a ridiculous amount of sites.. for example, hotmail.What is the point of that? I actually need my hotmail to organise matches with people but the school hinders that.

Fair enough with young kids you can make comments about msn not being beneficial but you cannot generalise that to teenagers who are in school VOLUNTARILY post 16. Maybe you should look at yourselves instead of judging the youth of today.

And as for the comment on grammar...I use msn constantly and my grammar is still in tact. BOOM goes your theory.

But yeah... people trying to get around it..web based msn sites are always getting blocked. But you can access other sites by using: http://www.glype.org

Why not use WFilter to block messenger and porn websites? WFilter has the most widely support of messenger and P2P protocols. You can download WFilter here: http://www.imfirewall.us

Grow up. Rewrite system registry: start, run, regedit, ctrl-f then in search box type messenger, deleate anything it finds.
Posted by: Tom Chandler at July 17, 2006 01:26 AM

Uh, what if my school disabled the command prompt ( even if you find it in c drive > etc > etc not just start > programs > accessories ) as well as made the run button disapear. They have also removed the Connections Tab under internet options for IE. Where would i locate these tabs and run button and enable the cmd prompt again. Also if you have any idea on howto make the remote desktop connection work again let me know. we used to log other students off their computers for kicks and giggles but they sorta blocked it.

I have found a rather drastic way of stopping the kids from constantly chatting on MSN...
1. Tell them that if they dont respect your wishes you will sell the computer.
2. Install some key logging software the records their logon details then when they have gone to bed login to their account and change the password. Then they cant login... Ha ha ha
3. Take the keyboard apart and disable the @ key... Ohhh thats a good one
Are they gona hate me... BOTHERED NO!

Well from what I remember of my college days, everything was blocked (haha). But as we all know sysadmins are dicks (been one myself) and that little bit of power goes to their head. Sadly for this one guy we had who used to be some big shot admin at a large telecoms company but was subsequently reduced to working at our insignificant institution when approaching retirement, he completely overlooked netmeeting (run > conf.exe) all that was needed was the name of the computer you wanted to call accross the network, which was made easy with the widespread use of cellular devices and before you knew it everyone was chatting to each other whilst playing sonic the hedgehog. Ok its fairly old but most overlook it as it is integrated into windows and doesn't use any internet bandwidth provided you are on a lan.

why don't these kids ever rtfm anymore? we all had to start from somewhere.

My university library blocked msn messenger as well. I just discovered this website: http://www.ebuddy.com. You don't need to download anything. It works with tabs on one screen so you can click it away in a sec if you need to ;) For me it works great!! You can also find this this (old eBuddy version) on http://www.mangeloo.com if u need to.
Enjoy!

It's pretty obvious by the literacy (or lack thereof) of those who are crying about not being able to access MSN messenger, just how many losers/morons Microsh*t have sucked into it's immoral web and who should really get over it and get a life. MSN messenger promotes the use of extremely poor writing and grammar skills that are turning kids into idiots. Microsoft should be held accountable for their actions and MADE to remove MSN messenger completely and permanently via a patch. MSN messenger is after all, nothing but a virus used by losers without a life.

www.emweb.eu

A free-to-use msn web messenger. If you donate to them then it allows them to keep changing the URL so even if one is blocked, you can be emailed the new one ready for use.

I can see several issues related to IM control here.
Perhaps we can help with the MSN Messenger blocking in particular, whether it is general or for a particular user, network, subnet...

It is NOT free of charge however. If still interested, please request this service from http://www.fyi.it

Thanks. GE.

You can stop IM clients (aim, Y!, MSN, whoever) dead in their tracks if you have a way to block SOCKS4 and 5 protocols. The easiest way is to use a proxy server. However, that does require a dedicated PC or server. Here's what I do... My DSL router (a Linksys) has an entry blocking the 'kids' PC's MAC address so it cannot get to the internet without going through the proxy. In the proxy server, I simply deny all SOCKS 4 and 5 communicaion. Done deal. I use Proxy+, which is free for up to 2 connections. Very flexible, and you can even set certain windows of time when IM's, web sites, internet access etc., can be accessed.

Another good free (up to 5 users) proxy server is 602LAN suite. It goes a few steps furture with content management, black lists, firewall, etc.

As for webmessenger sites... you have to do like schools and businesses. When the kids access one, add it to the deny list. The same goes for proxy tunnel sites.

If you don't want/have a "server" to use, there is proxy software available that works somewhat the same, but run locally on the kids PC. Not as robust, but they do the job.

^_^

You won't BELIEVE how many webmessengers my school has banned, even the ones I keep to myself! It's hilarious and tedious trying to find ones that aren't banned, and if I do, they ban them within a month at the latest. My school's pretty good at that sort of thing. :)

But yeah, I'll always be looking for more! I mean, Sixth Formers get bored in their free lessons, so in some cases, I think we should be allowed it, but that's only my opinion. And yes, I actually spend a lot of time on my school work, in fact, I'm doing it now at home.

Good luck to those who are looking for webmessengers, but you *should* really be working! ^.~

Schools block it for a reason. Spend less time IM'ing and more time on your school work.

Besides, whatever site you do find that might work will be blocked by your school anyway as soon as they see you using it, so don't waste your time.

You can live without Messenger. Really.

Block messenger via registry even if reinstalled also stop autorun of msn

Set:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client

PreventRun (DWORD) = 1
PreventAutoRun (DWORD) = 1

Or create and set the same values under:
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Messenger\Client

If only the kids would put that kind of energy into what they're *supposed* to be doing. Sigh.

No matta how many times our school tries to block MSN we ALWAYS find a way round it I mean we found this website and it gave us more websites we hadn't tried before and yeah it dus improve our IT skills some of us are going as far as learning how to have MSN on our sites and changing the name every week so the teachers neva find out about it good luck trying to block it but it's neva going to happen

Compare this to things like credit card fraud... no matter how much you change the system and tighten up security it will always be broken or compromised at some point, and while there is software out there to monitor and block activities on the Internet there is just as big an underground market for workarounds and services like webmessengers...

If you look at the root cause of all this, it becomes clear there are two main ramifications:

1) TRUST - a Company/School will not trust that people to get their work done, so they block access to these things for this reason...

2) CONTROL - A geeky systems administrator decides to block it to assert a level of control.

If you trust people with the Internet, they will eventually get bored of it anyway, so why have them waste their time trying to hack through all the security you spent hours reading up on and putting in place???

*sigh*
the problem is the kids are just tooo good at learning. in a way unless you come up with an allmightly block anyother block you put in place will just make the kid better and better and pretty soon there better than you and theres nothing you can do, they might even go on to be a hacker , but it could be a good thing IT is a very good skill nowdays and if blocking stuf makes them better at IT then then do it, it may make be the base of there carrea as you can probaly tell im a kid my self and we are very resosfull and good at finding loop holes in systems and exploiting them (but not that good over all . for example my codeing is sooo bad)

you can put blocking software on but some software you can just system restore and the passowrds restet or software gone they can even uninstall it.
and if your saying "there account is limeted and admin is passworded. " most kids know the old tap F8 at start off and enter the main admin with no passowrd. and if thats blocked they can even get hold of a boot program that gets the passwords out of the SAM file and decrips it. were theres a will theres a way.

if you block the messenger program thers all these web messengers.
i have had first hand exprinses with my school and webmessgers for the past year and they still havent blocked them all.
my schools system is very strick even dos is bared grrr.
in the beginign there was
msn.webmessenger.com got blocked so then
emessenger.com got blocked so then
then we dicovered we could have (a big world city)-emesenger.ney e.g huston-emesenger.net
and that lastest for about 3 mouths of finding new citsy. after that we whent to
iloveim.com that got banned so we got
1xiloveim.com
2xiloveim.com
" " and so on untill 15
the all eventually got blocked
so we started using new ones such as
http://www.phonefox.com and http://msn.audiowatcher.com that had no mention of a im service.
those ons still at blocked to day and we still have a big bank of ways round blocks.

including ip adrees (there realy get blocked as it staff dont think they have anything to do with im services.

http://85.184.4.3/
http://216.32.66.235/

now we are at the stage when we use forgin sites
http://www.warpmessenger.com/
where the it staff have no idea what were going on.

i havent listed all the web messengers i know as i don twant to spoil your kids fun. but blocking them if they find out about webmessges shouls keep them at bay for about a mouth or 2 (good for exam times )

i dont even use the webmessngers anymore onse your kid gets good enought he wont ever i run throught a proxy i set up. and my friends has a VNP connection right to his home (but hes a bit geeky) and we are still very young and have much more to learn.
dont forget were the generation that have grown up are hole lifes with computers around us and learned from a young age so one day we will be better than you (or its likely.
if you block somthing they will get round it its just a matter of time .
anyhow

keep tuning your kids into computer marsters nd laters

Doesn't even matter if you block it AFTER it's been installed on your computer. I actually deleted MSN for my kid and then discovered that if you go to www.e-messenger.net and log on THAT way you can get the MSN or other IM places without having it actually on your computer. What's a mom to do???

like the advice. Think my msn has been blocked - by my kid brother. But I am not a kid! I am an IT student for heavens sake, and I have no idea how to solve it. It's been some help. Put a smile on my face, where I had for 2 hours been sitting in front of the comp fuming on how to get around it.

No need to reply, this is just a comment!
