K well thats mayb kinda gay for alot of ppl but look i dunno what is it but its freaking me out ... The other day ago my step father went on comp then a bit after he lets me the comp ... so i start playing d2 as usual and then BAM! a popup ... then I was like err ... wtf? but since then its not stoping and im wondering what is it cause i hate popups :scary

btw i saw that not only when I play d2 but it does it like regulary and it also does it on internet explorer or msn it does it the minute i connect to internet .. pretty simple but even ad aware or norton antivirus cant scan it(what is it gd!) and delete it

Probally a trojan of some sort(ur probally like duh)but id search on here or im sure someone has a reference to a trojan remover,but if all else fails u can always just reformat(ive done it plenty of times,not due to viruses tho...)

Don't Flame. Knthnx.

And yes, it's the windows messenger service.

Follow THIS:

1. From the desktop:
Select Start,
select Settings,
select Control Panel.

2. On the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools.


3. On Administrative Tools, double-click Services.


4. On the Services list, select Messenger. Right-click on it, and select Properties.


5. This will bring up the properties of the Messenger service.

Click on the drop-down menu for Startup type: and change to Manual. This will prevent Messenger from starting at boot time.

Click the Stop button to stop the service.


6. After the service has stopped, the properties screen should show:


7. Click Apply, then OK on the service screen. You may now close the previous windows.
