Anyone have a program or way to disable these annoying popups? Every popup blocking program I've tried has been unsuccessful in blocking these. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to disable your windows messenger service or get a firewall. Just go into services and disable it. Its just someone doing a "net send' to you over the internet.

I just saw a link on notd.net about it, and remembered a post. I don't use messenger, get trillian.
