pop-up ad whenever it wants

[CraigK]

Has anyone else been recieving a pop-up ad for www.endads.com. Their way of advertising is really hypocritical.
this is really annoying. I can handle getting a pop-up ad when I have my browser open but not when it's closed, and thats when i get this pop-up.

download and run

www.adaware.com



or spybot.

AdAware won't catch it. It's a worm.

W32.Spybot.Worm in fact. I had to use Norton AV with the very very very newest updates to get rid of it. It was hiding in my recycler files.

Just do a Google on the name, you might be able to get a free fix from Symantec.

Adaware and other spyware detecting programs do not always detect this very annoying popup from endads.

But the answer is simple.

: Click Start button on your Windows taskbar.
: Click Run...
: Enter "Services.msc" (without quotation marks) and click OK.
: Browse the list till you find "Messenger" in Name column.
: Double click it. The Messenger Properties (Local Computer) dialog box comes out.
: Choose "Disable" in "Startup type" drop down box.
: Click OK.

Those annoy me a lot. That's why I use a pop-up blocker with IE at work and use Opera at home.

I may get the endad at work once but then it goes into the pop-up blocker list and that's it. I never get it again.
