ok this is weird i get this pop up that on the top says Messenger! then it gives me this crap about go to this site and get adware protection. Ill get a screen shot of it next time it pops up and post it but its pissing me off. I think it may be like a virus cuz my spybot didnt find it. What should i do? Also where can i get a 6.2 update? Do i have to just DL the whole MSN again or is there a upgrade version? thanks
Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in services.msc then press enter
Find Messenger and right click it and select Properties
Click on the Stop Button
then choose Startup Type: and select Disabled.
The Messenger Service is incharge of displaying Messages on Local Area Networks, it was exploited and used for Advertisements.
If you stop the service you will no longer be able to recieve Net Send messages.
