YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I just installed "spybot" and i can surf the net with ease without those annoying pop ads on my screen. Are you tired of pop ads? If yes, try "Spybot".

Why not shut off Messenger (not Windows IM) in the services list, then run Adaware.  Never have them again and not have to run some other software to trap them.

You guys look for hard ways to solve easy problems?

How do you turn off messenger that isn't WIndows IM?
ctrl alt del and look in applications or process in WIn XP Pro?

What straffo said.  Just right click on it, select Properties and Disable the thing.

as usual skuzzy speaks the truth

crap, I hate all that auto-this and that in windows
I disable all I can and leave the services set to manual should I ever need them.

You are right JB.  I was referring to either Windows 2000 or XP.

You have to run msconfig in 98se to shut it off.
