The article you referenced about Pop-Up Spam Messages only refers to the Messenger
service on NT based PCs. Any 9x based PCs are not effected by these types of messages.
Check out this link for various free pop up stopper programs from download.com.

Let me know if you use Netscape or Mozilla and I will link you to the tweak for a
pop-up stopper in preferences. Mozilla has it already and Netscape 6/7 allows it
too (its hidden and needs a tweak.)

A 9x based PC is a PC running either Windows 95, 98, or ME.

Thank you for answer, maybe I am little hard-headed: from where comes that "9x"?
And a PC which is running Windows XP or Windows 2000? what kind of a "....based PC"
should be?

9x is used to describe the three visually similar operating systems: 95, 98 and ME.
The x is to indicate that your machine has 95 or 98, x being 5 or 8. ME is included
in this category because it is visually and functionally the same as 95 and 98. All
three run using the same architecture (DOS-based). Windows 2000 and XP machines run
off of the NT architecture, which is visually similar, but functionally different.
That's why a lot of older games either don't work or work poorly on 2000 and XP and
some not at all on NT. Hence the question: "Are you using a 9x machine or an NT machine?"
Hope that helps!

9x refers to the first letter 9 of 95 or 98 and the x is a typical variable people
use for either the 5 or the 8. ME just kind of messed the whole 9x designation up
but not many folks use it anyway. If a PC runs XP or 2000 it runs just that XP or
2000 there is no common designation for both together. People use 9x because both
95 and 98 are similar enough to lump together.
