Stop Net Send (Pop Up) Messages!

<font size=2>
Have you ever had a message box pop up on your computer screen, advertising a product or telling you to goto their site ? I have, 
and I found it very annoying. It didn't take me too long to find out how this was happening, and how to stop it; but I think it's 
something everyone should know how to do because this method of advertising will just keep getting more popular. While you could 
probably just turn on a firewall and stop it, there is no need. There are two methods of preventing these annoying messages that I 
know of, here they are :<br><br>
<b>Method #1</b><br><br>
1.) Click on your, "Start" menu.<br>
2.) Goto, "Control Panel".<br>
3.) In there you should see an icon for, "Administrative Tools" or, "Computer Management" depending on what version of Windows 
you're running; double click it.<br>
4.) Somewhere in there you should see an icon for, "Services", double click it.<br>
5.) Scroll down and find the service called, "Messenger".<br>
6.) Right click it and goto, "Properties".<br>
7.) In the combo (drop-down) box for, "Startup Type" select, "Manual".<br>
8.) Click the button labeled, "Stop". Ta-da!<br><br>
<b>Method #2</b><br><br>
1.) Click on your, "Start" menu.<br>
2.) Goto, "Run".<br>
3.) Type the following without quotations, "Net Stop Messenger" (Type "Net Start Messenger" to start the service).<br>
4.) Pat yourself on the back for choosing the quicker method. :)<br><br>
Or you can download my very simple utility I created in VB 6.0 to do this all for you :<br><br>

Sorry if this isn't the most informative tutorial that could be here; but I thought it would come useful to some. Hope it helps! :)
