Is there a way to stop all the messenger pop ups i get?
I go to their sites to see but they always want monies of
course and it does not look legal and i feel once i go
for their scams that i will be stuck with them,i get them
regularly and they even come with my ip address,awaiting
your answer as i trust Norton and i do not know where
else to ask
 
If the title bar reads as MESSENGER SERVICE, then it the world famouse
Messenger SPAM.

Install a Firewall to prevent the pop-ups
Enable the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP:

Open Network Connections
Click the Dial-up, LAN or High-Speed Internet connection that you want to
protect, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this
connection.
On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, select one of the
following:
To enable Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), select the Protect my computer
and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the
Internet check box.

This blocks the TCP ports responsible for Messenger data tranmissions and
prevents Pop-ups.
