I have a question about Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages:

Can someone please tell me how to open the Services window (services.msc)? This is all new to me and I can't figure out how to open the window. Thanks

Windows XP Click Start->Control Panel Click Performance and Maintenance Click Administrative Tools Double click Services Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties. Click the STOP button. Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar Click OK

The easiest way is to just type services.msc in Start Menu > Run .

Thank you for your help. It sure seems to be working. What, if any, are the disadvantages of disabling Messenger?

Do you (or any program on your computer) ever use it?
If no then there should be no problem with disabling it
if you find that something is not working turn it on to test if it needs that service or lookin the programs help files
if you (or a program) need it you might turn it on only when you need it
