NullPointerException Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Appart from the security issues of net send it can be a pain if someone decides to broadcast messages to the entire workgroup all the time. My suggestion is to kill the service, it's useless anyway nowdays with IM.

TurboTuna Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Some NT based programs use it. But the one of the reasons its disabled is because it was an easy way for people to advertise and it caused havok. Once i went to bed, woke up and had like 50 of them :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/428068-any-security-issues-with-net-send/#findComment-587146159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
