ok have u guys been getting these stupid pop ups i got a few threats once they said if i dont pay them they will keep poping these msgs here is one but this one is not a threat

Umm...that has absolutely nothing to do with MSN or Windows Messenger.

That is the service "Messenger" in XP/2k or "WinPopUp" in Win98/ME. It is defaultly enabled on Windows XP and 2000.

Just browse to your Administrative Tools/Services. Stop the Messenger Service, then disable it.

I use it at college coz we havnt got messenger

Yes, it's the NET SEND command. Most people don't use it, but if you are in a school/network and need to message each other quickly, it's handy. Otherwise, if you get popups and other annoying messages, it's easy to disable.

how do u use the net send cmd?

Yakbak · Jan 20, 2003

In your command prompt, type:

net send COMPUTERNAME message

You can replace COMPUTERNAME with an IP address.

thats so cool thanks dude now i can do that to my dad when my mom tells me to tell him to get down here to dinner

Go into Administrative Tools in Control Panel. Open the Services Snap-in. Find the 'Messenger' service, and disable it. No more popups.

edit: Just checked the website. $30.00 USD to turn off a service!? How do these people sleep at night!?

Damn MSN
