Unwanted popup message/Adz

[Kitty Cat]

How come no one complaint microsoft?
Those popup adz are the stupid system design error.
MS made a fundamental mistake, but didn't let us know.
Even microsoft don't want to solve it -- truth.

Because we only paid the HOME edition of Windows XP.
There is no built-in security control.
So, if you want to get a cheaper product from MS,
YOU gotta pay more AT LAST.

For HOME edition users, now you only have 2 solutions:
1. Pay more to buy professional edition
2. Pay more to buy a firewall from third-part companies

Kitty;
The solution is exactly the same for Home and Pro.
Enable the installed firewall.
No need to pay for the fix.
For Messenger Service ads:
You need to install or enable a firewall:

Disabling Messenger Service can be a good idea, but it does not solve
the real problem.
The ads are not the real problem, the ads are only a symptom.
The real problem is open ports that allow unwanted traffic into the
computer.
Disabling Messenger does nothing for the open ports.
The firewall controls the traffic.

This will not work if you have AOL.
AOL is not compatible with Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall
(ICF)
If you have AOL, you should contact AOL and/or get a 3rd party
firewall.

Disable Messenger Service:
Start/Control Panel, click Administrative Tools, click Services.
Go down to "Messenger".
Right click "Messenger" and select Properties.
Then under Start-up select DISABLE
Click OK and follow prompts

Run Ad-Aware (free version) or Spybot to check for spyware:
