 | I installed the latest version of messenger plus and what do I get?! POP-UPS, POP-UPS, POP-SCREENS, spam icons on my
 desktop and in my taskbar (that keep on coming back when I
 delete them).
 Has MSN lost their mind? I'm so fucking pissed about this! I
 can't believe they did this!
 Well, I installed 3.5 as fast as I could. OLD SCHOOL Y'ALL!

 | I'd run ad-aware if I were you - sounds like you got an extra bonus. Did the popups stop when you uninstalled the
 new version?

 | mozilla is the way to be on "sites" w/ popups and no flash, cause it has a built in pop up defenderâ„¢, which kicks ass.
 and if a popup somehow sneaks thru it goes into a diff tab
 without poppin in ya face! but its sux for sites w/ flash
 because it doesnt work w/ flash...

 you should use trillian instead of msn messenger.
 
 it combines your contacts from AIM, yahoo, MSN, icq, etc..
 
 totally skinable and no ads.
