I have just reinstalled Windows (XP) and all the Spyware & Popup Software I was running before with no Problems Smile My Aol Pop Up stopper is Working
Yet...The Windows Messenger is churning up several XXX Popups per hour Frown Mad
Apart from deleting this program (Easy!)what advice can you give to stop this?And why are they avoiding the Spyware and PopUp programs?
Confused

Go into the Control Panel/Administrator tools. Open "Services", then scroll down to Messenger and open it. Click the "Stop" button, then select the "Disabled" option to prevent it from restarting at startup.

This does not effect MSN Messenger.
