I agree - no pop ups on this site you've probably just got some form of Trojan or aggresive advertising programme

try ad-aware to remove it you can pick up the basic free version on the link below

http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10214 ... ag=lst-0-1

if your more interested in the Pro version its available on the link below (Its 11 up from the bottom - I'm not recommending this of course as its has the serial number to register it without paying!!!!)

Messenger service

Post by speedfreek »

If they're little "gray windows" that keep popping up,
then you may want to disable Windows Messenger

Try this if you have Windows 2000 or XP..

Click on Start
Click Run
Type: services.msc
Double-click on Messenger
Find Service status and select stop
Click the scroll down box in Startup type, choose Disabled
Click OK.
