If popups are caused by windows messenger, then why isnt there security patches to protect you? Does anyone know if the government is working to stop all the spyware problems ?
The popups are caused by the built-in service in Windows called the Messenger Service -- NOT
Windows Messenger. The Messenger Service simply receives messages and displays them -- that
is the extent of what it can do [it is not classified as 'spyware'].
The internet is a global network, it is literally impossible to do anything about spyware via
legislation.
