    Any one else experienced this ?

    After patching, I started getting the WindowsMessaging cr*p messages again - you all know the annoying pop-ups. These never appeared whilst running AVG6 and ZoneAlarm Pro.

    Only now I've patched Blaster, have they started again - anyone else had this ? :snipersm:

    When I started getting those darn popup spams I was advised to check this:
    This refers to XP but I think it works on win2000.
    Go to control panel, admin tools, services.Right click messenger and select stop.
    The service will stop but will start again on reboot.Right-click on messenger again and select properties.In the startup box, select disabled.
    This will prevent it the popups starting again.

    Also check your firewall hasn't been disabled for some reason.

    I hope this helps. :peace
