Gw mau tau Messaging spam dari Spam (éléktronik). Jelasin dalam bahasa sunda

Messaging spam, sometimes termed spim, is a type of spamming where the target of the spamming is instant messaging (IM).  Many IM systems offer a directory of users, including demographic information such as age and sex. Advertisers can gather this information, sign on to the system, and send unsolicited messages.

A similar sort of spam can be sent with the Windows Messenger Service in Microsoft Windows. The Messenger Service is an SMB facility intended to allow servers to send pop-up alerts to a Windows workstation. When Windows systems are connected to the Internet with this service running and without an adequate firewall, it can be used to send spam. The Messenger Service can, however, be éasily disabled.
