Microsoft Explorer Pop-ups

go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ , and download 'Hijack This!'.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log somewhere, and please copy & paste its contents to the forum.

It will possibly show issues deserving our attention, but most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.

Do this in order:

/me kicks KeithKman for posting what dvk01 already said.

I think what Meh18/you means/mean are the little boxes that pop-up that say 'Messenger Service.' If you're talking about something completely different, and they do NOT say 'Messenger Service' ignore this post.

What you need to do is turn off this in-built Messenger Service as it is almost useless and is spawning you with pop-ups. Go to Settings/Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services. Scroll down the list until you see 'Messenger.'

Right click on this, select Properties, click the scrollbox called Startup and select 'Disabled.' OK everything, close the windows and you're done!
