| Should a pop up box appear on your screen with the words "Messenger Service" in the title bar such as the one below, chances are that you have Windows Messenger Services enabled. |
In their initial state, Microsoft Windows operating systems (98, ME, XP,
2000, NT) allow anyone on the internet to pop up Windows on your screen.
There is no need for them to know anything about your computer and your
computer does not care who does it.
Even less savory individuals may pop up messages on your screen that try
to fool you into taking actions that may not be in your best interest.
The important thing to remember is that anyone, anywhere in the world
can pop up one of these messages on your computer. At this time it looks
as though all these messages will have "Messenger Service" in
the Window title.

To remove the ability for anyone in the world to pop up messages on your computer, you can disable the Messenger service. It's easy to reverse at a later time if you wish to do so (try the free software below for automatic removal/restarting).
