| REceived from AOL Today. How to disable these offensive messages: Give it a try. Message: Hi, I am sorry to hear about this issue. To be able for you to disable or get rid of this pop-up service, please follow the steps below on how to do this. What are they? The popups are a new form of spam sent from outsiders accessing your computer via the Windows Messenger Service. Messenger is loaded by default upon startup of Windows XP, 2000 or NT and must be manually installed on Windows 95 and 98. Microsoft has been using this tool for years to send message between its clients and servers if problems should occur. Now spammers have found this to be a new spam tool for automatically sending untraceable spam. Below are the complete steps on how to disable this pop-up message. Click Start and then select Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance. Click Administrative Tools. Then double click Services Scroll down and highlight "Messenger". Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties. Click the STOP button. Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar and click on OK. I appreciate your patience regarding this matter. |
