Hi

When i am playing my online games'after ages and ages of playing a pop up ad appears,
And it's always the same ad.
It must be buried in my registry or something.
It's very annoying mid game for a window to suddenly appear.
Any ideas how i can kill this?
I don't want a pop up preventer'but something that removes this one programme.

Thanx

Does it look like a chat message? If it doesn't, you have some spyware on your computer and should use the links posted by the above poster. If it DOES look like a chat dialog, it is a NetSend message.... I had this happening to me before too.... all you have to do to stop it is to first go into your Adminstrative tools and Disable "Messenger".. then go into msconfig and turn it off there too.
