hi,

I am using a windows 2000 prof on a network, i use IE 6.0
to connect to the internet i also have the SP3 installed
on to the system. the problem i am facing is when i
connect to the internet there will be many popups on my
screen, Which irretates me to the core. is there a way i
can stop this pops. is there a patch which i can download
to avoid pops on my computer
 
From PC Magazine's 10 Fast and Free Security Enhancements:

Block pop-up spam messages in Windows NT, 2000, or XP by disabling the
Windows Messenger
service (this is unrelated to the instant messaging program). Open
Control Panel | Administrative Tools |
Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to
Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and
press the Stop button. Bye-bye, spam pop-ups! Any good firewall
will also stop them.
