Sounds like you wanted him to apologize.

You seem to be rather literal minded. Do you really think I was trying to
elicit an apology?
My post was meant to be nothing other than insulting.

You expect him to apologise after you talk like that? Sounds
hypocritical
to me.

After you answer almost every post about these pop-ups, then you can
talk.
I wonder how many users have come to this NG, not bothered to run a
search,
but instead of asking the worlds biggest FAQ, they see this, and their
problem is solved.

Wonder why MS hasn't removed this like they do to other top posts?
(That
was a rhetorical question BTW.)

That language is not helpful one bit, and doesn't exactly add any
support
to
your views.

Despite all your idiotic mutterings, the simple fact is that you post
dated
your innanities so we all have to see this tripe at the top of our
readers
for months to come and be reminded that usenet is overpopulated with
moronic
cases of arrested development. Also, no one gives a simple rat's ass
about
your educational pursuits and your need to post such drivel does not
raise
your esteem in this ng one iota. In other words, there is absolutely
no
way
for you to correct your rude behavior other than for you to apologize,
admit
you're wrong, wrong, wrong and then contemplate doing yourself in and
post
a
daily diary of that contemplation so we can encourage your progress.
Now
get started you little prig.

*Note* These Pop-ups are part of Messenger Service and *NOT WINDOWS
OR
MSN
MESSENGER*

For Messenger Service ads:
You need to install or enable a firewall:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q330904

*Note* Unless properly and, unfortunately, manually configured, ALL
Windows
Messenger file transfers, voice conversations, and video
conversations
will
fail to connect. (If anyone knows how to properly configure the
Windows

XP
firewall, please post how.)

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 of a
larger
issue. The real problem is open ports that allow unwanted traffic
into
the
computer.

Disabling Messenger does nothing for the open ports. You would need
a
firewall that controls the traffic.

Although not an obvious problem, open ports can lead to larger
problems
such
as hackers, and backdoor Trojan viruses.

The above solution will not work if you have AOL as 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. [Why would you being
using
AOL
in the first place, no offence, but check out this link (QuickTime
required)
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/aolcommercial.html, as well as (no player
required) http://www.ebaumsworld.com/aoldisks.shtml]

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