XP/2K Spam on Desktop?
This happened to me twice yesterday:
I got a pop-up that looked more like a windows dialog box. It happened on a laptop at work that was dialed out via modem (testing) that I KNOW didn't have MSN Messenger on it, running Win2K, and about 10 minutes after I helped my nieghbor set up his new Dell running XP Home.
What's the deal? Does anyone have an article on these?

Mom said "make me a Mod"
only way to disable it is to go to control panel>Administrative tools>Components services>services Local, and disable the Messenger service and choose it NOT to start automatically, this will prevent A LOT of these messages, not all, but a lot
Hope that helped

So it's not an MSN Messenger component? It's a different messaging component embedded into windows?
