Yes of course it is .
But it isn't recommended disable the service .. if you are running on a network cuz sometimes your administrator send you messages through this utility..

To my knowledge there is no support for the NT/2000/XP messenger service in windows 95/98/ME so the forementioned program will not ork properly on those operating system. Windows 95/98/ME systems will not give you these messenger popups. And as a tip from a programmer in many languages but emplyed as a security advisor at a small company, you guys should get yourselves a simple firewall. Even zonealarm would do http://www.zonelabs.com, this is FREE if you choose the normal version.
