MarkL has the correct answer. Go to Gibson Research and download ShootTheMessenger.
This particular gadget is a part of Windows, and has nothing to do either with Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger or popup ads.
While you're at Gibsons, I'd also suggest downloading Unplug and Pray.
These two tiny programs simply toggle the settings in WindowsXP or 2000. It's much easier than going into the Control Panel and a dozen other steps to toggle them manually.

What are you talking about? He's talking about the gray Messenger popups. My solution in Post 3 is the correct one. It takes all of 20 seconds. Case closed.

Thanks, and don't forget "SOCKETLOCK" and "SOCKET-TO-ME" either, although is you've been keeping up with Windows patches, these should already be taken care of.
