| How to block messenger ads?
When you are connected to the Internet, a new
window may open on your computer screen containing
an advertisement. The windows are labeled Messenger
Service in the title bar. However, these messages,
which are sometimes called "messenger spam,"
are not related to Windows Messenger, MSN®
Messenger or such instant messaging services.
These advertisements are sent via the Messenger
Service, which is designed for use by system
administrators in Windows server-client networks.
System administrators use the messenger service
to send messages that notify you of conditions
on or give status about your network. However,
some advertisers have started using this service
to send their information via the Internet.
Disabling your messenger service will block
the messenger pop-up advertisement.
To disble messenger service in Windows XP:
1) Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance
and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools,
and then double-click Services. You must be
logged on as an administrator or a member of
the Administrators group in order to complete
this procedure.
2) Select the Messenger. On the Action menu,
click Stop to temporarily stop.
3) Right-click the Messenger, and then click
Properties. On the General tab, in the Startup
type box, click Disabled. |
