pop up spam / virus type thing
 

My computer has started displaying a Windows pop up box titled "Messenger Service" asking if I want to buy a university diploma... Call now, etc.

Is this some sort of spam virus I have accidentally downloaded? Anyone know about it?

Netsend spam.

Send a shitload back to them :)

control panels -> admin tools -> services -> messenger -> DISABLE it (the service) u have to disable u can't just hit STOP or it will turn back on when u reboot ... happened to me a couple times b4 i figured it out grr

i bought 40 boxes of cigars, 40 ifriends memberships from geocities, and 40 u n i v e r s i t y diplomas before i realized it wasnt techs from my ISP!!!!

:thumbsup

I think I've disabled it - thanks.

Some fucker must be really hard up for cash to resort to this! :ak47:

Yeah, those really are annoying...Although, the majority of people have NO idea how to turn it off.

I'm highly surprised the pr0n industry hasn't started to spam using it yet =)
