Pop ups on a brand new XP machine


Recommended Posts

Posted

I just recently purchased a new Dell XP system and for some reason it gets popups. I dunno how the hell, it's brand new!!! I have run Adaware and Spybot and it does nothing. I also set the security settings to high, and disabled install on demand on IE. I have tried to delete the cookies, I mean I have done it all and still get popups.. ANyone have any suggestions as to what the solution may be?

Thanx guys.

Click on Start, Run

Type SERVICES.MSC and press enter

Scroll down the list of services and look for MESSENGER

Double click on this.

Disable it and then stop the service, that should stop them.

I seem to have gotten rid of the popups. I checked the services and one of the services that were supposed to be off were on so I disabled it and stoped it.

Thanx guys!!!!
