The FTC took action against D-Squared Solutions in order to stop that company's deceptive trade practices and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order. D-Squared sells software to block pop-up Windows Messenger spam, as well as software to send Windows Messenger pop-up spam and advertises these products by using, not suprisingly, Windows Messenger spam.
