... If you learn anything, PLEASE email the solution to me. I have been geeting unsolicited ads as messenger popups, even after I have disconnected from the Internet. For some background on this refer to www.popuppadlock.com If you're still receiving random popups, you might have spyware on your system. Run Adaware (www.lavasoftusa.com) and Spybot (http://security.kolla.de/) to see what the culprits are.

"Pop-ups"
Greetings Barbara,
Do these "pop-ups" that are appearing have "Messenger Service" in their titlebar? If so, what you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to Windows, *not* Windows Messenger (which are two different things) which spammers are exploiting -- this is not Microsoft, nor can Microsoft control them anymore then they can control spam to your e-mail inbox. To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable the "Messenger Service", click Start, then Run, enter "services.msc"and click OK. Scroll down to "Messenger", select it, right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup type, choose 'Disabled' and then choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing in Windows or any real third-party applications should be effected by this. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "barbara" wrote in message ...
