Microsoft messenger and pop-ups

[Geoff]

Question:
Is there a way; without damaging the system, to shut off
the windows messenger in hopes of killing a lot of ads
being brought up? I have noticed that most of the ads
that I have been receiving as of lat of come from that
source and are usually involving ads to stop it. I want
to knos if there is anyway that I can do this without
buying software to stop it from the same people that are
sending it? If so, how will it effect my operating
system? Thanks for your time. Geoff

Easy - turn on Internet Connection Firewall. Complete directions are in Help
and Support. For even more functionality, install a third party firewall.
