blobblob Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Every now and again when I am on the internet i get 'messenger service' pop-ups (even if I don't have messenger open) which are really annoying and I don't know how to get rid of them. Could anyone help me with getting rid of these? (p.s. I don't know if this is the right topic but it seemed the most appropriate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffzilla Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I suppose you could also use tcp/ip filtering and not allow that port to be used at all. It's in the tcp/ip options. But this topic shows up at least 3 times every week. People have GOT to start using the search button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobblob Posted June 29, 2003 Author Share Posted June 29, 2003 K, thanks for the help and I'll try and search next time. Although last time I used search lots of people shouted at me for reviving a dead topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
