go get a program called ad-aware from downloads.com, its an awsome peice of kit that cleans your machine out of loads of shit! made my comp run alot better and has stopped annoying popups.

Hey guys, is this a pop up box that comes up as "messenger" or something, advertising porn and the likes. If so ... i have the solution - go to start, settings, control panel, administrative tools, then scroll down to "Messenger", then right click, properties, and where is says "start up type" change that to disabled, and then no more messenger pop ups. This doesnt effect your msn messenger, has nothing to do with it  I had the same problem and everything is A ok now  Any qns gimme a shout

no need to mess about in services.msc... just banish it for good!!
1. Click on Start.
2. Click on Run.
3. Copy and paste this line into the box:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
You'll get a prompt at the beginning of the process warning you to exit the program and make sure it isn't running.
You'll get another one afterwards showing that it's indeed gone.

Somebody told me adaware was not only picking up stuff but also planting spyware. Not sure, not a computer boffin.
I use Norton to stop popups.
Google toolbar doesnt stop them all.
