>If these are "Messenger Service" popups, Spybot won't
help. Here's some info on them:

Ad-aware has a new plug-in (since yesterday) that will
help with "Messenger Service" popups. Download and run
Adaware (free version) from
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=506
It detects and safely removes dataminers, tracking
cookies, dialers, BHO's and other objects from your
computer. This link will help you configure AAW for your
first scan: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?

If you have any questions, their forums are here:

It's very important that you update your ref files before
each scan because they are updated frequently. Click on
the globe or "Check For Updates Now".
