The problem being, that something is broadcasting an IP address. Which points pretty much to spyware or a virus.

A lot of people could make port scanner that could tell if messenger is active on a specific IP or not, it really doesn't take that much skill. The IPs that are given out to residental customers are generally in blocks, so that makes scanning even easier as you can look specifically for home users who are going to be more likely target.
