On XP right now there are those popup dialogue box advertisements due to a flaw of some sort in XP. Can someone here please advise me how to stop them? |

|
type service.msc into the run dialog box. Then you need to look down the list for one called messenger. Stop that service and then go into its properties to stop it loading up automatically on startup. That should do it. |

Is the run dialogue different from the run... option on Start menu? I typed that into the run... box and it said it could not find it |

My bad it should be services.msc You have the right run though. |

popupstopper won't help here (though it's well worth a gander). giginger has it right. I used to get them all the time until I turned that service off. This "Messenger" service has nothing to do with Windows Messenger (aka MSN) instant messaging, so disabling the service won't affect MSN |

Your firewall should also stop these messenger pop-ups because they use a none standard port. |
