Have you ever had an adverisement pop-up out of nowhere on
your desktop?

Congratulations, you've been hit by the newest form of
unwanted advertising, or spam. This message was sent to
your computer through a built in feature that Microsoft
included in your copy of Windows 2000, NT, or XP.

I have received this message many times and would like to
know if it is true. And if so, how does one get rid of
this built in feature that allows this unwanted,
unsolicited spam?
