These type of popups often exploit the Messenger Service in your Windows OS, which after XP SP2 is disabled by default. Do these popups say "Messenger Service" in the title bar at times? A popup blocker "thingy" will be of no help in this case. You have 3 choices to end the problem. 1. You can disable and stop Messenger Service by typing "services msc." (without the(""s) into your Run Box and disabling and stopping Messenger Service. OR 2. You can use the free utility called Shoot The Messenger to automatically disable this unnecessary service. http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm Please note that Windows Messenger Service is not the same as any Instant Messenger program that you may have on your computer. Disabling it will not cause you to lose any IM functionality that you may have. OR (Best Solution) 3. Update or upgrade your operating system to at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Unfortunately it is also used for spamming people. Disabling instructions below direct from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/stopspam.mspx After the instructions, you really need to run a good cleanup. Those that can type faster will, no doubt, provide you with AVG Antispyware, Spybot S&D and Adaware, all great programs and run them first and reboot. Afterwards, a great free program to have that uses virtually zero resources is SpyWareBlaster. It helps blocking crapware before it installs.<br><b>References : </b><br> THat's Messenger Service which was intended for Corporate clients. Unfortunately it is also used for spamming people.
