im assuming that you mean the messenger service

the little gray ads that randomly pop up when ever they please lol

i got a fix for ya

To make it so others cannot send these messages to you, disable the Messenger service from Services. (Go to Control Panel > Perf. & Maint. > Administrative Tools > Services. Double click the Messenger Service, change 'Automatic' to 'Disabled' and click the Stop button.)

and if that doesnt work for ya try it this way....

Start > Run> Type: services.msc
when the Services window pops up scroll down to "Messenger" the description is "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."
Righ click go to Properties and in startup type select "DISABLE"

DON'T worry this has nothing to do with Windows/MSN Messenger instant messenging programs, this is a different thing, as the description states!


lol you owe me a beer

Or install a firewall and stop that problem and potentially many more.

fire wall wont always stop messenger service popups.. at least the microsoft firewall wont

if you want to test if the messenger service is disabled or if your fwall blocks it then do this....

At the command prompt, type "net send IPADDRESS_OF_CLIENT_TO_SEND_TO Your Message" and that person will get a popup window immediately with "Your Message" .. the popup window will says "Messenger Service" in the titlebar and will contain your workstation's name and the time.

you can also send a message to yourself by using your own ip addy

to find your ip type 'ipconfig' in the command prompt
