I'M BAAACKKK!!!!!
Woo Hoo!! So far so good...(still keeping fingers crossed) looks like my new install of windows is up and running quite well at this point...except one thing. I had stopped these annoying pesky little boogers long ago so I have forgotten what stopped them. I am refering to the little windows that will pop up in the middle of your screen saying something like "critical windows alert" (the window's title is always "messenger service") then it goes on to say there is a critical error and you must go to this site (something like pcfix.com or freepcscan.com etc, etc) to keep repair your system immediately. If I remember correctly, these are like pop up ads but so far my attempts at stopping them have failed...maybe because i am using firefox instead of IE ??

any help out there??
