Ronin Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 look for a program that is starting up. check your startup directly and check the startup list...run ad-aware...I cnat actually see what it is but I get the jist that its spyware.

Bosco Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 i get these now and then and they piss me off cus usually its wen im playing cs.what is it and how can i get rid of them!!??? People are sending you a message thru the windows messenger built in XP. You really should turn it off for security reasons, and to keep people from sending you these messages. To turn it off go to Start -> Run and type "cmd" without the quotes. This pops up a ms-dos window. Then type "net stop messenger" without quotes. This will stop it. Â To prevent it from loading on start up windows (by default it does) go to Admin Tools -> Services Find Messenger in the list and double click it. Click the drop down box beside: Startup Type: and just disable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

smeghead009 Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 what the hell was microsoft thinking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolcomPimp Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 ya this definitly isnt a program running... its the messenger service that microsoft incorporated into windows for lan's so ppl could send each other messages like that... problem is noone uses it, and people can message you crap like that.... the guy that actually discovered this was Kevin from the Screen Savers on TechTV... microsoft brushed it off because they say they did it on purpose and it's not a flaw but a feature... but now plenty of ppl are exploiting it, and I even saw some programs that people are selling that purposly mass message ppl through this for their advertizing purposes.... goto services and disable windows messenger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATI Radeon 8500 Posted January 18, 2003 Posted January 18, 2003 ROFL ms can do no wrong of course...Yeah when I get my comp running I better disable that. Do you run Kazaa while you play C-S though it always gets you popups and hogs bandwidth... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
