To disable windows messenger: Right click the taskbar and click the Task Manager. In the Task Manager, click the Processes tab. On the Processes tab, click the Image name column header. You'll notice that this arranges program names in alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order. This prevents them from moving around in the list and makes it easier to find what you're looking for. Find the msimn entry in the list. Right click it and click End Process. Click Yes in the dialog box warning that bad things might happen. The msimn entry should disappear. Find the msmsgs entry in the Image Name list. Right click that one and click End Process. Again, click Yes on the warning dialog box. Close the Task Manager. Messenger Service, Disable Click Start and then click Control Panel. Click "Administrative Tools" Double-click "Services" Double-click "Messenger" In the Startup type list, choose "Disabled" Close all the windows Hope that helps "Ramesh [MVP]" <ramesh@nojunkmails.com@mvps.org> wrote in message news:udsy49YNEHA.3052@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... If the pop-up title bar reads as MESSENGER SERVICE, then it is the famous Messenger SPAM. Install a Firewall to prevent the pop-ups. If you don't have a firewall installed, enable the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP: 1. Open Network Connections 2. Click the Dial-up, LAN or High-Speed Internet connection that you want to protect, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection. 3. On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, select the Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box.
