No these aren't updates. They're advertisements. Last one I read earlier tonite was "get rit of pop-up ads." It was a software thing.

I can just uninstall Windows Messenger? We have not reason for IMs anyway. I got rid of AOL IM, Yahoo IM and ICQ on the other computer. I hated them.

I don't see why you can't, I don't have it.... it may be trying to tie itself to your outlook, but you don't need it. I don't have it. That must be where the ads are coming from. All I can think of unless you have accidently installed Gator already! (have you?)

Try uninstalling it (don't blame me!).... with any luck you and I can have your machine completely unfunctional by morning!

Well, I just looked, and it looks like I do have Messenger, but it never turns on... hang on a minute.
