Some spammers are now using the Windows Alerter/Messenger services to pop up stuff on your screen. This is pretty freaky. Your firewall may be configurable to block the network port that those messages are transmitted on, or (depending on your operating system flavor) you can just shut off those services. Very few people actually use them. If you're running Win2K or XP, go into the "Services" applet under the Control Panel - Administrative Tools and change the startup type of the "Messenger" service to Manual or Disabled. (Also click Stop to shut it off w/o rebooting.)
