still comes up

chris

did you read the thread I linked to? If you disable the service, it will not work. Try renaming the folder like it says in the link.

ok

chris

reboot your computer. Then navigate to the folder called "messenger". Rename to something like "messengerOLD" or something similar. Then delete that folder.

Should take care of it.

i did the messenger rename thing and i still get "messenger service" pop-ups!!! Please help me!!!

run adware, or disable the service if u are runnin win 2k/xp

how do i disable the service?

what os are u running ?

XP pro

start->settings->control panel->administrative shit->services

then look for the messenger service on the list right click on it and from the drop down list hit select disabled, then click ok

it doesnt give disable as an option, it gives stop though.

i think i may have figured it out, i'll have to wait and see if i get any of these damn popups, thanks for your help

Oh sweet crap it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

You should be able to disable Messenger service after you stop it. I run Win2k Pro and that's what I had to do to stop those annoying ads exploiting the Messenger Service.

alrite i already brought this shit up like 20 years ago....
i just deleted messenger
