Messenger Service Pop-ups die die!

So i keep getting these messenger service pop-ups on my computer. they are grey boxes that usually say something like if you want to get rid of these popups click here. sometimes they will popup when IE isn't even running.

i use zonealarm pro with the popup kill feature activiated and yet it still happens.

any thoughts.

damn! i just got one as i was writing this. it said to stop adds go to www.ENDADS.com

thanks i was being a retard. i should've done a little research first.

i went to http://www.windowplanet.net/articles...icle=82&page=3

to see the following information:
With that out of the way, let's get started:

1. In Control Panel, go to Administrative Tools.
2. Once inside Administrative Tools, go to Services.
3. In Services, scroll down some until you see "Messenger" - you'll want to right-click on that and hit Properties.
Before you do anything else in that box, go to the Dependencies tab. It will take a few seconds, but verify that nothing currently installed requires that service to run. Any dependencies for other programs will be in the bottom; ignore the top pane.
4. Chances are you won't have any dependencies; if this is indeed the case, your next step will be to go to the General tab.
5. First, stop the service by clicking "Stop."
Give Windows a few seconds to shut down the service.
6. Then, in the dropdown list labeled "Startup type," select the Disabled option.
7. Click OK. At this point, you should have no more of those annoying popups.

but your screen shot was way better. thanks! any reason to put it on manual instead of disabled?

You can use a firewall (I use Tiny Personal Firewall) to block it, can't remember the port number offhand...

445, 137, 139. All TCP. Those are the NetBIOS/Messenger ports, if I remember correctly.
