For Messenger Service ads:
You need to install or enable a firewall: http://support.microsoft.com/default...EN-US;Q330904& 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 -- Gary Tsang "Amy" wrote in message ...
