Messenger service????
« on: May 27, 2003, 06:22:54 AM »
Hi, i just got a new computer and for some reason there is a pop up thing that appears on it all the time i go online, this is what it says: "Messenger service" at the top of the window and then a whole load of crap like "free cable TV", "super fast downloads" and then it says to go to a site to stop the pop ups, but to download the \'stopper\' costs money, which is a load of bullshit coz i am not paying to stop somwthing i didnt start.

Anyone know about this or where i can download software to stop it??

adaware and Mcaffee virus scanner cam up with nothing btw. =[

Call the held desk of whatever computer maker you got that from and ask them.

Go to Control panel. Then Adminstrative tools, then services.  Scroll down to "Messenger" right click on it then press on stop.

Yes, it\'s part of windows. Guess they make deals with companies to allow them to send crap to this messenger service, or companies just found out a loop hole windows has and decided to use it.. Either way it pisses a lot of people off.
