Is it my imagination?

[Tom]

Is it my imagination or are you a jerk??? If someone
would actually list an answer to the repeated questions,
they wouldn't have to keep asking them over and over. I
am so sick of the messenger pop-up ads....but microsoft
hasn't done **** to fix it.......and so far as I scroll
through these posts, I don't see any answers to the
questions.

answer :o)
Do these "pop-ups" 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.
