Ok, I've reinstalled Windows on my laptop and put messenger 6 on (currently downloading hotfix updates)
Tell me why I'm getting the dreaded "enlarge your p**is " pop ads are coming up again?

ok, here it is, download this program, install it,
this will find all the adware on you computer an remove it

btw, if you running Kazaa, and not Kazza Lite, this program can screw it, so just install Kazaa Lite (if at all)

Is it this sort of popup?
Go to control panel > admin tools > services > and disable the Messenger Service.
MSN/Windows Messenger remains unaffected.

do what aaron said before you install anything else. They are called NET sends, based on messenger service running in windows. Don't confuse it with MSN messenger. They are not the same.

im not sure what services depend on it, but definetly nothing important, and it has nothing to do with Windows Updates,
so basicly it stops the really anoying adds

basically it was set up for companys to send messenges within a network. But the spammers use it to annoy people. It does not effect anything else by turning it off. Just stops the annoying net sends.
read about it a little more here.They send it using your IP
