I know a few people who get these. It is a gray messagebox that pops up at random times. And the title on the window is "Messenger Service"

My brother gets the same pop-ups. And I found out today that they pop up at the exact same times on our seperate computers(with the same pop-up).

Can't find out where they come from. I've uninstalled a couple things with no change.

Since my brother and a couple friends of mine get the same thing, i'm assuming its some kinda adware from a program we all have. And since it says messenger service I assume its AIM (only messenger service my brother uses). But it could be any program really.

I am just curious if theres a way to stop this crap. It exits me out of programs and games taking up the whole screen.

If anyone knows something, please post. It'll be a big help to me and many others. DOWN WITH ADS!

EDIT: Oh yeah, the ads dont have any pictures. Just text. Mostly casino and random ads and stuff, with some porn thrown in there.

Yeah, that crap is annoying. I'm using Windows XP and I've gotten those before as well. I've used this site and it'll tell you everything you need to know so u can disable those messages.

theyre not javascript actually, its a network message executed via the messenger system running over the netbios protocol, usually affecting systems running windows NT or XP

I think they are an AD from your ISP.... as in SBC Global, or an AT&T service.... the only way the computer would actually display the message is if the message came from a trusted source..... such as the network your connected to.

So they take me in on a chain to Long Beach. And now they lock me up in the cell behind the court room in Long Beach while i'm awaiting to be heard on my traffic offenses. (parking tickets) and then I paniced and i'm thinking "oh my god, man, while i'm here, they're holding me, actually what's to stop them. i mean what's really to stop them?!" oh i assumed that maybe some day my mother would realize that i should've gotten out.(laughs) Nah, she was nuts, she wouldn't have known. But still what's to stop them?! and i'm thinking... and finally they called me. I'm sorry. I'll come out. I'll be dead. Scared.
