ssenger service. If the
service isn't started, then Agent will write this entry to the eventlog. The
messenger and Alerter
(used on the client which receives the message) is considered security risky
and are both disabled
with XP sp2. If you don't Alert operators though NET SEND you can ignore thi
s entry.
