Wow! Thanks Martoch!

I've switch to WindowsXP in the past few months, and since then for some reason I have been getting some of those weird pop-ups... Now I am free!

Thanks for the liberation!

Alternatively you can use the freeware version of www.zonealarm.com and stop incoming messenging.

6pac-

How is the freeware version of Zonealarm? I presently use Sysgate Personal Firewall Pro...

I have used Zonealarm on and off in the past several years...

Not the exact person you asked... but I think that ZoneAlarm is the best firewall there is for windows. The free version is no less secure than the deluxe (paid version), it just has fewer features.

It seems to be updated pretty frequently...
