[SALvation]

Look and see if a program called Gator is running on your PC. If so, delete it.

okay, sounds good. but how do we find this gator?

[SALvation]

Also, go to Start -> Run and type "msconfig". Click on the Startup tab and show us a pic of everything that is listed in there.

KEWL thanx SAL i&#39;ll post if it works&#33;

[death maker]

umm lol this stuff is too complicated for me :P

Once you have done what Sal suggested, download Adaware or Spybot, and see if you have anything else that is messing with your system.

[OUTLAWS Tip]

What kind of pop-up? Is it Microsoft Messenger Service. If Adaware doesn&#39;t stop it probably is the messenger service included with XP.

Also if you are getting these messages it means you computer is open to others. You should also turn on the Internet Connection Firewall that comes with XP.

Well he said he ran Adaware already. When was the last time you updated it? Check for new updates before you run it next. :thumbs:

[Morpheus]

if you have that damn msn plus addin it gives you tons of crap popups. :lol:
