    Turn off Messenger. Not MSN Messenger, the other one. It's buried in your control panel somewhere I think.

      It could be those spammers that send it to your IP address, it pops up on the screen when your online. I get the "buy a diploma, call 1-800. etc. " a couple times a day

        That's exactly what it is. Here is how you turn off messenger in XP....

        control panel
        administrative tools
        services
        double click messenger
        disable the fucker.

        You'll never use it anyway.

          Click Start, Run, and type "gpedit.msc" (but don?t type the quote marks.)

          This opens up the Group Policy Editor snap-in.

          In the left panel, expand Local Computer Policy : Computer Configuration : Administrative Templates : Windows Components : Windows Messenger.

          This will bring up a screen that looks like Figure 2.
          In the right-hand panel, double click the settings

          "Do not Allow Windows Messenger to Run."
          "Do not automatically start Windows Messenger initially"

          Click Enabled, and then click OK.

          Close the Group Policy Editor.

          Got it. Completely disabled.
