I keep getting a pop up from "messenger Service" avising me that all kinds of stuff is wrong with my comp and I should visit a web site to fix it. The website it lists and the problems its lists are varied.
Sick of this dam thing popping up !!
I have tried adaware and spybot to get rid of it but it is never found.
can someone please help me?
using windows xp
the pop up messages are varied but generally start with " Message from SECURITY to ALERT on (date and time)"
generally the message refers to errors with buffer overflow or registry errors and wants me to visit a web site to fix these 'errors", but it is just spam.

Start>settings>control panel>administrative tools>services>right click on messenger and choose properties. Disable and reboot and no more popups
