I have turned off Messenger Service and I have Spybot, which I run frequently to clean up programs that have landed on my computer. But I still get pop-ups. Is there no way to stop them completely? Do I have to purchase ($$$) pop-up blocker software? Why doesn't Microsoft include pop-up blockers? They obviously are selling a product that has massive bugs in it and is unsecure. Why don't they fix the glaring errors of their software?
