Does anyone know how to get rid of the popup ads that
come through windows, and you have to click "ok" to get
rid of them? On the top is says "Windows Messenger
Service" and its trying to direct you to pages like
www.killmessenger.com, etc. I work from home on my
computer and these things are driving me crazy. I didnt
have this problem until I loaded windows XP.
