hi all
i installed windows xp on my cousins pc today
after installing it i was putting all the bits on for her and she uses msn messenger and aol instant messenger.as soon as they were installed i started gettind loads of message pop ups from different places mainly porn sites its ok when i surf the net without any of the messengers on i dont get them
i installed ad-aware 6.1 thought it might have been a bit of spy ware but its not ive got a pop up blocker for the net and that seems to work
its just everytime i put instant messengers on
would be grateful for any advice

Then some other configu must have disabled the netsend or you have it configured "by accident" because of another setting :D

Try downloading the Google toolbar, I get no popups at all and it's Google!

Try downloading
Adaware or spybot from download.com

Also if you use IE 6.0, I advice useing this other program...
It's called mozilla firefox.
You can get it from this link below...
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/start/
It has a built in pop up stopper so no more pop ups.
It has worked great for me for past 4 weeks now...
it's better than IE...

HOped this helped...

I have used Spybot and ZoneAlarm with great success!
and I also use http://www.opera.com/download/
Opera. not only is it more secure than IE, it's faster and has tabs, sessions and all kinds of very useful functions that IE just doesn't do.
and if i happen to go on a site that has popups, i shut them off with a menu item. piece O pie!
