This was on my mums computer yesterday :lol:

If you are getting popups that look a bit like microsoft messages as opposed to stuff off internet explorer, go to start, run, type "services.msc", find the item called "messenger" then stop and disable it. Its only real purpose its stuff like when you are on a network, the printer can send you an automatic message when your document has finished, but people have hijacked it for spyware now too. :(

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago best program to use which is free is spybot search and destroy some one off here told me this it works a treat much better than adaware 6.

If search for it on downloads.com if you are still having difficulty getting it i will e-mail to you if you want. :thumbs:
