pop-ups

[nmcmu6937]

I am running XP Pro and ever since I re registered with
comcast after moving, I am getting hundreds of pop-ups
with the title of Messenger Service. Where do I go to
find what is letting these in? They even interrupt PC
games. I downloaded SpyBot thinking it would take care
of if but so far it hasn't.

You can just enable XP's built in firewall to stop them. -

and you can also disable the service completely if you wish.

to stop this goto your Control Panel, goto Admin Tools>>Services>>Scroll
down to "Messenger" double click on it, and select "Disable" instead of
Auto. This will fix it for u

both will work.
