I keep getting popup messages from www.endads.com through
windows messaging. Does anyone have a fix for this
particular nuisance?

It's "Messenger Service", not windows messaging.

And yes, there is a fix. The article at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/communicate/stopspam.asp
will give you the information you need.

Watch out for people suggesting that you simply disable the Messenger
Service, because that's only a band-aid solution, you don't want to just
stop the ads, you want to stop the exploitation of the NetBIOS and RPC
services that would still occur even if you disabled Messenger Service.

Keep the canary, it'll be useful if you come across gas in the future. :-)

Alun.
