Windows Messenger...

[Guest Mole]

I REALLY REALLY hate the damn pop up adds it sends you, they get SOOO annoying. I don't even use MSM, but I can't get it off my computer because it other applications are using it such as Internet Explorer. When I leave the computer on overnight with AIM on, I get like 15 of these damn pop up adds. They are sooo annoying, but I don't want to pay money for the program to block them.

 

Is there a program I can get for free that blocks them?

For Windows 2000 and XP

 

* Go to start and click Run

* Type services.msc

* Double-click on Messenger.

* In the Messenger Properties window, select Stop, then choose Disable as the Startup Type.

* Click OK.

 

For Windows 95, 98, and ME

 

* Under Control Panel, select Add/Remove.

* Select Windows Setup.

* Select System Tools.

* Click Details.

* Uncheck WinPopUp.

* Click OK.

 

Or for a simpler way, download Shoot the Messenger, a 22k file which will shut Messenger down for you.
