i just deleted the windows messenger files on my computer which is running xp in an effort to keep ad messages from popping up. they say message to unsafe user: you are open to attack. go to messagedestroyer.com to stop this opening. I know there must be a way i can stop this without purchasing someones software. and now that i dont have microsoft messenger anymore i still get the popups about messenger directing me to the websites. also any good ideas about regular pop up ads? thanks for any help.
