What those are are something called NET SEND alerts, which are alerts you can send to other people on your network. However what spammers do is send them to different IPs and make them out like offical windows alerts, but they're not.
Stop 'Messenger' or 'Messenger Service' or whatever it's named in that list segosa gave you, as it is the service that listens for those alerts and shows them when you get one.
ya i did it and they havnt popped up yet...but i do really need the service packs and last time i tried windows update i did that activex control thing and it just freezes...
ok well nvm about that active X freezing...im just too impatient but i got service pack 4 on the computer so i think thats about all the updating i need to do but the automatic updates, unless yall know of somthing else.
