PopUp Messages (WinXP)

[Linton S. Kypta]

Something new here (Windows XP). Pop up messages refer
to a vulnerability in Windows XP allowing the popups.
They want $$$ for software to prevent. I think I can
prevent by setting appropriate "Internet Options" in the
Control Panel. Can anyone tell me which options I have
to turn on or off to prevent the popups? Any additional
info or tips welcome ...
Many thanks
Kyp

If you have AOL, you should contact AOL and/or get a 3rd party firewall.
