re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Wednesday, October 15, 2003 at 12:36 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve B (395 messages posted) Hmmm. My SpyBot removes things, and mine's free. If you don't have a firewall, you should get one or maybe use the one built-in to XP. Some spam comes through the Messenger Service, not through the browser. A firewall should stop it, or you can disable the Messenger Service. I.E. is a browser. I use I.E., but I also have the free PopupStopper. I don't get any popups.
