Start -> Run -> services.msc Scroll down to Messenger and double-click on it. Click Stop, then change the Startup Type to Disabled. Hit OK, and voila, no Messenger spam.
That information is false though. The tech he's bragging about is most likely the Windows Messenger service, which is already in use as a spam method.
You hit a website and have port 139 open with Messenger enabled, and *ding* you get a popup with the spam message in it.
Very annoying, as it bypasses all internet popup blockers, but its not unstoppable. To disable it, you need do one of two things; block port 139 with any firewall, and/or disable the Messenger service.
To do the latter, go to Start -> Run -> services.msc Scroll down to Messenger and double-click on it. Click Stop, then change the Startup Type to Disabled. Hit OK, and voila, no Messenger spam.

IANAL, but wouldn't that actually count as mail fraud since you'd be causing him to be billed?
