Just in case some of you didn't know about this, here is the fix for blocking Pop-Up ads:

QUOTE
To Disable the Messenger Service Manually:
-- Click on the Start button in the taskbar
-- Open Control Panels
-- Go to "Administrative Tools" (XP users may need to go to "Performance and Maintenance" first, then "Administrative Tools")
-- Double-click on "Services"
-- Scroll down to "Messenger"
-- Double-click on "Messenger"
-- Change the Startup type to "Disabled"
-- Click "Stop" to stop the service

I use AdShield.

It lets me toggle between allowing and not allowing, and I can easily block unwanted images, like annoying/offensive sigs. It gives you a few more options than just a global setting change.

I think Sigma is talking about that Windows messenger service that is totally useless and it has a really annoying habit of popping up in games and crashing to the desktop this can become very very annoying

it's a windows xp thing. It is the most annoying crap I have ever seen in an operating system.
