CONSTANT POP UP's FROM "MESSENGER SERVICE"

[Renee]

Not to be confused with MSN Messenger. I do not believe
they are one in the same source. But EVERY DAY,
CONSTANTLY, I get these 3 or 4 annoyances that pop up
anywhere and everywhere on my computer that say MESSENGER
SERVICE in a blue box accross the top, then it will say
Message from SYSTEM to ALERT. Then I am told to go to
www.Broadcastlocker.com and pay $30 if I want to end
these annoyances forever. One of the others is exactly
the same but refers me to ENDADS.com The other is called
DefeatMessenger.com
When I click them off, they pop right back
up......CONSTANTLY. HELP!!! What can I do to stop this?
These don't look like normal pop-ups Ive seen in the
past. It looks like it is something in Windows.
I am going CRRRRRRRAAZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! Thank YOU

Follow this procedure and they will stop

1. In Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools.
2. Once inside Administrative Tools, go to Services.
3. In Services, scroll down some until you see "Messenger" - you'll want to
right-click on that and hit Properties.
4. Before you do anything else in that box, go to the Dependencies tab. It
will take a few seconds, but verify that nothing currently installed
requires that service to run. Any dependencies for other programs will be in
the bottom; ignore the top pane.
5. Chances are you won't have any dependencies; if this is indeed the case,
your next step will be to go to the General tab.
6. First, stop the service by clicking "Stop."
7. Give Windows a few seconds to shut down the service.
8. Then, in the dropdown list labeled "Startup type," select the Disabled
option.
9. Click OK. At this point, you should have no more of those annoying
popups.
