re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Thursday, August 28, 2003 at 9:33 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve (21542 messages posted) I have been using Googles popup blocker for awhile, and it works great. I have always had my XP box's configured where they don't recieve messenger spam, so I can't vouch for how it works on it, but regular web popups are gone without notice.
