LOL.. good one... ass.

Tribbets, did you perchance install some spyware?  Like the Divx5 codec that was posted on this site?

Try running ad-aware, available at TUCOWS.com

I wish there was a way to stop them with win 98. :(

Fortunately it isn't much of a problem....yet.

Mav,


 I believe in 98 it's winpopup.exe

Start/Settings/Control Panel/ Add Remove Programs/System Tools/ Winpopup (it's at the bottom)


edit: unless you've isnstalled msn messenger, I dunno if they included an extra pop up with that, my guess would be that they did and that'd also what they included in their later OS's as the messenger service.

What I would like to know is how in the hell Microsoft knew Tibbits was bald. I mean, I know computers are getting smarter, but this is rediculous!

Thanks much, I found it was checked so I took care of that little matter. You were right on the money!  Thanks again.
