Press Run

Type net stop messenger in the box - and click OK.

Voila - no more :thumbs:

[liliacqueen]

i think i have to

[Sticks]

I have been getting grey boxes telling me to buy software from www.endads.com, is that the grey boxes others are getting ?

I have done Mark's fix, can we have more of an explanation if possible. Will it affect MSN messanger ?:conf:

[LEE]

Yes Sticks that is exactly the same popups that I was getting.

No I'm sure it will not effect MSN in the slightest.

[James]

The messenger service was designed as a way administrators could broadcast messages over an organisation's network to all the users.

Unfortunately Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, didn't realise it could be used for spamming purposes so they left it on as a default when they shipped Windows XP.

It's seperate from MSN Messenger so turning it off won't affect that.

well i got xp n i aint had any since i did wot mark said

[Boris]

Having used both methods ....24 hours on I am

Still

getting them
The same as Sticks and Splodge and all the others too.
Any more advice ?:conf:

I used to get so many pop ups that it just messed up my computer so much that it was impossible to do anything. I tried all the free methods but the only thing that eventually got rid of them all was a service that I paid for.

I take that back, I have had them twice this evening :bawling:

Just type it in again :thumbs:

On some computers it works permanent (mine) - on others it needs to be activated each net session

That's a pain. Is there any way of making it permanent?
