Greetings,

Do these "popups" that are appearing have "Messenger Service" in their titlebar? If so, what
you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to Windows, *not* Windows Messenger (which
are two different things) which spammers are exploiting -- this is not Microsoft, nor can
Microsoft control them anymore then they can control spam to your e-mail inbox.

To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable the "Messenger Service", click Start,
then Run, enter "services.msc"and click OK. Scroll down to "Messenger", select it,
right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup type, choose 'Disabled' and then
choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any
real third-party applications should be effected by this.

Don't you wish people would read the NG before asking?

This question has been asked no less than 16 times in the past 3 days alone!
An at least 4 of those we just today!

You're a real trooper, and must have the patience of a saint, Jonathan, I
would have quit answering a long time ago ;-)

Keep up the good work!
