How to block, stop "Messenger Service"? I have AOL for my Internet connection when I travel in Mexico. I live in Mexico. I think this is related. I log on to AOL, open something to get on MS Explorer, then I open my Outlook Express to download my emails from my email provider which is: prodigy.net.mx it is through Telmex -- Mexican Telephone Company. Anyway, ONLY with my AOL connection (I think) do I get these "windows" popups (sort of) to open: "Messenger Service" They are all different and tell me my system has, is infected with Spyware. They tell me to log on to: Spydead.com www.ErrorFixer.com www.nomore-ads.net www.fix-comp.com And more. Q--- How do I stop, block these? They are driving me nuts! Well they sure do bug me! Thanks. God bless you to know and do His will! John P |

Also try ad-aware and spybot. I believe you are having trouble with spyware. |

If you are on Windows XP, Go To Start > Run Then type "services.msc" without the quotes. Find the service called "Messenger" and double-click it. Then choose disable and restart the P.C. Enjoy! |

The other comments will only help you this time. Stop using Internet Explorer and Outlook express. They are a haven for people who want to mess up your computer. Download Opera from www.opera.com, mailclient included. |

Quick Note Explorer and Outlook express has nothing to do with Messenger Service Do what snapscan1212p-ga says |
