Need help with annoying message by hitch on 03-20-2006 at 07:02 PM
ok on msn my friend keeps getting this message "Get screen names that suit your mood on http://www.IM-Names.com (it's free)" does any one know how to get rid of it.

its sounds like adware/spyware.
tell your friend to scan his PC with an anti adware/spyware program. that should do the trick

nah, its hitch that should scan his PC if the other person is the one receiving the message, but before you do a scan, check if "IM-Names" is in Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.

Would this be related to this text I noticed on their website?

How can I disable the IM Names tell a friend program?
IM Names has a powerful fun feature to tell your friends about IM Names without the headache of telling EACH friend about it. This is how we let other people know about our application. If you wish to remove this function from our software you can do so by changing the program's options, or by uninstalling it via Ad/Remove Programs in your control panel.

Try this...

first open WINDOWS TASK MANAGER (ctrl+alt+del) then click on PROCESSES. now look for something called 'IM-svr.exe' click on it then then END PROCESS.
now go to your program files folder and delete IM-names folder, and your done!
