Hi All.

I am running Windows XP/SP1. Every now and then I find a dialog pops up on my computer with the caption "Messenger Service". Inside the window is some spam message - usually about getting a US green card.

I do not know if its related to Windows Messenger, which I do have installed but I do not run it unless I need to contact a friend. I have switched off the options in Windows Messenger - Tools - Options - "Run this program when Windows starts" and "Allow this program to run in the background".

Q) How can I stop these "Messenger Service" windows from popping up?

Thanks

Jos
