pop-ups

[Richard]

I have pop-up called "messenger service" that pop-ups
all the time, even when not using Exployer. Any ideas on
how to get rid of it?

Go into your services and "stop" and then "disable" the "Windows Messenger"
service. This is NOT the same thing as MSN Messenger for those who use that.

Hi Richard,

To disable the Messenger Service:

Go to Start/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. Double click the
Messenger Service and change Automatic to Disabled, then click the Stop
button.

Or use this automated edit:
