You have to install XP SP1 and then go into Add/Remove Programs and
uninstall Messenger. You are correct in that this is just a new form of
spam. Some guy down in Florida wrote the software and sells it to spammers.
Thank you, Microsoft.

As I said I have tried ADWare
However just did a google search and this appears to be a new form of
advertising

| Hi Clive,
|
| It sounds like you might have some spy-ware on your
| computer. I'd use AD-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com) to try and get rid
| of this pop-up, and then use Ad Muncher (http://www.admuncher.com) to
| prevent it from showing itself on your system again.
|
| Hope this helps,
|
| Ron.
