Your computer is infeccted with a serious Software that normal virus protection packages cannot remove. They monitor your internet traffic and is a serious violation of your privacy. It is recommended that you install the latest software to remove these by going to" and then I get the choice of going to either "www. Win-Clean.net or www.PC-Boost.net ... I hav the latest update from McAfee and also run Spybot. Neither program picks up anything. Has anyone experienced this and if so how do you fix it? johut (4183)

233460 2004-05-02 02:34:00 You can also remedy it manually (in XP):

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services

In the right-hand pane, scroll down to Messenger. Right-click it, select Properties. In the Startup-Type box select Disabled. Under Service Status click Stop. Exit your way out.
