In addition to having ZoneAlarm as a FireWall program, how do I stop
messages from popping up? I am not atlking about IE popups, I think the ones
I am getting are Messanger popups - they look like messageboxes with
Messenger Service in the title bar.
 
Greetings Jon,

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.
