Hello.

I'm having a problem with these stupid popups!!!!! I just
logged on to my computer 8 minutes ago and it took me 5
minutes just to clear all the pop ups and the web pages
that were sent to me (there was 45 of them!)!

I tried to set up my firewall, but I get an error that
says:

"An error occured while Internet Connection Sharing was
being enabled. The dependency servie or group failed to
start.".

I'm directly connecting to the internet though a
hub/cable modem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

OK,
Thanks for your reply.

So how do I go to services and disable messenger service.
I can't find any entry in the control panel for services?!

Further, how can I set these services needed for
networking and the internet?

Thanks
Steve
 
OK,

Thanks for the help. I found the Services and I disabled
the messenger service. When I tried to start the firewall
from the services screen I got an error that states:

"Could not strat the Internet Connection Firewal
(ICF)/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) service on Local
Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group
failed to start."

Further, I recieved 2 pop ups while typing this
message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So disabling the messenger service
didn't help at all!

Any other ideas?

Steve
