ads ads ads
Hey guys, when I go to sleep at night I leave my computer with XP and Pacbell DSL running and when I get up in the morning I have 15 ads I have to click off the screen before I can do anything.
These pop up during the day but they arent internet explorer (Browser) ads. They are grey boxes with the ad inside like the adware is built into a small program along with the DSL or maybe something I have on my computer on dont know about. Anyone know what im talking about? Thanx, Sean |

Disable Windows Messenger service. Right click on "My Computer," select "Manage," and then click on "Services." Double-click on the "Messenger" service, stop the service if it is running, and set its startup to disabled.

Here's the microsoft explanation:
