365455 2005-06-20 09:42:00 are you using windows messenger? if you are these are just spam pop ups...
download shoot the messenger (grc.com) and run that. then download another IM client like MSN messenger, Gaim or Trillain.

Has a guide on the various XP services, which ones are useless and annoying etc. And then you turn them off. Explains how as well.

365458 2005-06-20 23:59:00 Install service pack 2 (I assume you're using XP) and it will fix this up. Or you can just take this option:
Run services.msc
go into the properties of the messenger service
disable and stop this service.

Completely fixed now.
