You need to disable the Windows Messenger service on your computer. For more info, see:

Hope this helps,

thanks chris,
the popups are coming from internet explorer and i'm pretty sure it's the work of some sort of spyware that has infiltrated my system. i'm not sure of the reason why adaware is not finding it.
cheers,

Harry, try SpyBot - Search & Destroy. This is the best thing since sliced bread and it's free. However, it works so darn good, I donated $25 to the designer. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.
