| 211020 | 2004-01-29 09:27:00 | Sometimes while i'm on the internet just chatting on msn or playing battlefield, i would get a popup that says Get Paid Opinion Surveys. It says it's by Messenger Service in the title bar. I've run Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware but both can't find anything. Has anyone else experienced this or do they know of any fix for this problem? | Chao is back (634) | ||

| 211026 | 2004-01-29 18:47:00 | They told me abou this; Some of us like to keep to the point, while others just meaninglessly yabber on an and on (i.e. Me) If the messenger service is the one iI'm thinking about, (the one you can make popup on anyone else's computer), you can stop it from Command Prompt. The command should be: Net Stop [Service] To see what you have running Net Start This is all good, but a major of a pain, I trust microsoft knows what to do :D |
