Re: Windows Security Center Popup Warning

Does this pop-up say "Messenger Service" at the top? These could be spam/adverts sent via the Messenger Service if you have it enabled.

Explanation here along with instructions for how to disable it:

»www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/usin···pam.mspx

If you already have it disabled then I'd have to agree with the previous post and suggest you have spyware onboard - run a spyware check with Spybot or Adaware or something similar.

Re: Windows Security Center Popup Warning

Yeah, fcukdat is right -- there were buttons in the "popup" so it's NOT Messenger spam.

Go through the FAQ (linked twice above), Helpmeguy, and good luck.
