    How do i get rid of them just in the same way


    ok check this out, MSN6 messanger and Messanger Service are to diffrent things,

    MSN messanger is a IM ( instant message service) and messanger service is a pro for networked computer to talk to each other.
    somone found a way to send adds using this messanger service, how I turned it off was by right click " my computer" / manage/ services and apps/ services, then go down to messanger/ then right click and stop/ then right click messanger again and go to properties& start-up type = disable


    no more pop-ups




    I had this problem, like 6 mounths ago, guess it only happens once you do a fresh instal of XP, Google.com can take you a long way



    also buy shuting off Messanger Service, it can cause problems with AVG anti-virus, so says a page I found using Google, wish I remember the page but tht was 6 mounths ago.


    also its not a firewall problem tht can make you get the adds, its a hole that microsoft made (hope by mistake) that once you get on the web your open to these add, even if your hardware & software firewall'd

    basiclly XP home and XP professional are the same thing, just that some features were disabled, but the IM service was not deleted. :goodjob :goodjob :goodjob :goodjob

    MS probably just didn't predict that when XP was rolled out to consumers that spammers would start bulk advertising with that primitive messenger service. Big surprise there, they didn't think ahead.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't SP1 disable it for you on Home Edition?
