Does anyone get these annoying AD pop-ups?

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. |

excellent.... those are annoying as hell. www.cyberxyz.com is the place "they" told you to go to remove that . it's obviously some scam.... great idea, but annoying as hell. i should've thought of it.
