Messenger Service Pop-ups


Recommended Posts

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)

i would disable the messaging service. faling that install a firewall. i have Zone Alarm and Norton and they seem to stop them. When i disable them i seem to get those pop ups all the time.

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.

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.
