as most of you people know, who own windows you will get random messages advertising porno, and other things as well, some of them being "buy this to stop these annoying popups, only 50 dollars".. well theres an easier way. its controlled by this service that is automatically on when you startup windows. the only thing is you've got to shut it down, and prevent it from starting up again... easier than you may think too. ya'll just gotta trust me, for those who have done this, or even tried it will agree that this actually does work. here we go:

go to control panel> administrative tools>services
scroll down to this one thats called MESSENGER. double click on it and click on the drop down box for startup type and choose disabled. then click on the button that says stop service.

mind you this does not have anything to do with MSN messenger, its usually used to send messages to office employees and other things like that. with this disabled you wont get any more popups

i know i posted this is spam as well, about msn 6.0 beta. but i thought it'd be a good idea to make it a topic, because i bet a lot of ppl dont read some of that stuff and have the same problem

but this only works on the windows NT based kernel. because those are the only versions of windows that allow services to run
