But thats not what am looking for and i don't know the name of what am looking for is. so if you know any programs or downloads to stop this annoying problem. Thanxs
Sorry misread your post but I am currently looking for a program that will do just what you are looking for.
Not a popup but those things that popup and ad messages on em. can you please add a link if you know of any program.
I searched every site I could think of and I couldn't find any free programs only shareware with time trials
I'm not really sure specifically what you're talking about, the only thing I could think of was spamming via the Windows Messaging system in the form of popup advertising:

Thanx GreekGoddess thats it
Are you using the AOL browser? If you are, that could be your 1st issue.
It's especially a problem if you have Kazaa installed. I didn't really find a big association with the messenger popups when I was using AOL any more than any other browsing system, but Kazaa made a huge difference in the amounts of messenger related popups I received before I turned it off.
You want to get rid of pop-ups...? Download Mozilla from www.mozilla.org and use AOL just for your connection to the internet... and Mozilla as your browser...
go to contrpl panel >> administrative tools >> services.
double-click Messenger. Click on the button to stop the servive and on the drop-down menul select disable.
