you dont need any of this popup blocker stuff...

 

go to Start - Control Panel - Performance and Maintence - Administrive Tools - Services - look for 'Messenger' on the list right click and go to properties - set the startup type to 'Disabled' and click the stop button - then apply - ok sorted

 

Transmits net send and Alerter service messages between clients and servers. This service is not related to Windows Messenger. If this service is stopped, Alerter messages will not be transmitted. If this service is disabled.

that easy when you know how

[Ian Cashman]

start > run

type 'command' , a dos-like command prompt should open.

It should say something like this:

 

Microsoft Windows DOS

Copyright Microsoft Corporation 1990-2001.

 

C:\blah blah blah

 

then type:

 

net stop msg

 

 

that's it! theyre gone!

Those are the most ANNOYING pop ups you can get.

 

When you active on th ePC doing important stuff on the net, all they do is pop up.

 

MAKES YOU WANA BIN THE PC !
