the firewall on XP has various levels of security and on its highest setting it is
hard to use the internet as you constantly get websites moaning about cookies an
stuff,however on the recommended setting you still get the messenger pop ups which
only started recently for me and is most annoying because it always crashed me out
of online games and took priority,it is now disabled.
