re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Sunday, February 9, 2003 at 8:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Athena (2 messages posted) Stopping Windows Messenger Services will only stop the popups that come in thru ports controlled by it; Netbios 135, 137-139, and 445; it won't control web-based pop-ups. Those popups when you are on the internet come thru browsers port 80. Something like Pop-Up-Stopper, POW, or integrated modules in other products can help with these. If you get pop-ups when not on the web, or a large amount of them, you might have another problem...spyware. Lavasoft Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy can detect and remove these modules so you can get some peace. -Athena- On Saturday, February 8, 2003 at 7:05 am, Woody wrote: >to get rid of messenger pop-ups, this what you have to do... >goto control panal >then adminstrative tools >then click on services >then look for messenger, right click and go to properties, service status click stop, >and above that startup type, set to manual, good luck Written in response to: re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Woody: Saturday, February 8, 2003 at 7:05 am) Responses to this message: re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Byron: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 at 10:10 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (cass: Monday, March 31, 2003 at 5:46 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Steve Schiraldi: Sat, Nov 30, 2002, 8:16 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (triplate: Sat, Nov 30, 2002, 8:26 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Option: Sun, Jul 6, 2003, 11:39 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Meekal.W: Thu, Jan 29, 2004, 5:29 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (jagged ben: Sat, Nov 30, 2002, 9:05 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (zehn_uhr: Sun, Dec 1, 2002, 1:23 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (James Reilly: Wed, Dec 4, 2002, 12:49 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (J: Sun, Dec 1, 2002, 4:18 pm) Surefire way to stop those Pop-Ups (Messenger Manager: Wed, Dec 4, 2002, 8:44 am) re: Surefire way to stop those Pop-Ups (Gabriela: Thu, Feb 27, 2003, 7:24 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Tom: Fri, Feb 7, 2003, 8:15 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Woody: Sat, Feb 8, 2003, 7:05 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Athena: Sun, Feb 9, 2003, 8:59 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Byron: Tue, Feb 11, 2003, 10:10 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (cmjohnson: Sun, Feb 16, 2003, 5:07 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Julie: Wed, Apr 23, 2003, 9:49 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Phil: Fri, Sep 12, 2003, 11:12 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (cass: Mon, Mar 31, 2003, 5:46 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Cindy: Sun, Jul 27, 2003, 5:22 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Marta: Tue, Feb 25, 2003, 10:43 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (g4n0n: Wed, Mar 12, 2003, 10:45 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Ryan: Tue, Mar 18, 2003, 11:47 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Claude: Sun, May 4, 2003, 12:02 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Tony White: Sat, May 10, 2003, 7:07 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Tracey Rose: Thu, May 15, 2003, 3:11 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Mark Crilly: Tue, May 20, 2003, 2:08 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (nick: Fri, May 30, 2003, 9:48 pm) stopping dsl and cable pop up messages (Jeff Jacobsen: Mon, Jun 30, 2003, 8:37 pm) re: stopping dsl and cable pop up messages (bboop: Thu, Jul 3, 2003, 6:51 am) re: stopping dsl and cable pop up messages (hate spam: Sun, Jul 13, 2003, 10:27 am) re: stopping dsl and cable pop up messages (Jay: Fri, Nov 21, 2003, 8:52 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (TwIsT: Thu, Jul 24, 2003, 7:58 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (andrew: Fri, Aug 1, 2003, 9:56 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Christie: Mon, Sep 15, 2003, 10:20 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (jeanne: Tue, Sep 23, 2003, 6:51 pm) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Ric: Fri, Sep 26, 2003, 7:23 am) re: HELP!!! - Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (bBb: Fri, Sep 26, 2003, 8:19 am) re: HELP!!! - Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Ben: Sun, Apr 11, 2004, 8:07 am) re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' (Dustin : Thu, Mar 16, 2006, 7:44 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
