Thanks Ian - you're a star!

Andy - when you say pop-ups I assume you mean the advert type?

The above solution only stop those network-type pop-up messages - e.g.


To stop the more common advert-based ones you'd need to download a pop-up stopper - there's quite a few different types about.

Try this...

yea i use kazaa

lol - aww bless..

its only jst started to happen, never use to :boggle:

ohhhhh... hmmmm, dont know then! i get pop up from msn when ppl log in and everything.... - but the other type of pop ups are the ones advertising stuff!....

it has got summat to do with messenger... cso in the tile ov the pop up its got Messenger... but also its got summat to do wit win2k n xp

msn messenger pop ups are kinda ok, its just the omes that are just advertising! they are annoying like!

You use Kazaa? Kazaa Lite at all Welsh? I had this problem ages ago and im trying to think how I sorted it.

Does it say system message or something? When it pops up ctrl+alt+del it and find out what process it is. (cmd.exe or something I think) Leave the pop up open when u do it so the process it is will be highlighted.

iv got win xp n the pop up like mad , i thought it was sumin to do with msn messenger?? :boggle:

ive noticed they only pop up wen im running win XP n win 2k!

Ive started having these popups while im on the internet, they pop up every 5mins and is starting to do my head in now! They even pop up when i have nothing open in my taskbar!

One of the popups was advertising this website http://www.endads.com/
Anyone know how to get rid of these windows popups with out spending £17 to get rid of them.
Thanks
