"Messenger Service" screen.

[Dmitri]

For the past year now, I have been getting sporadic pop-ups appearing
on my computer from a "Messenger Service" screen. They all seem to be
advertising, ironically enough, a pop-up blocker of some kind. One of
them is avaiable at messengerblocker.com (I think) and other at a now
forgotten address. The point is that I have used every program
possible to counteract this. I have currently downloaded "Spy Sweeper"
"Spy Bot" and "Ad-Ware." While they have done a good job at blocking
the other spyware, they can't seem to get this one. Could someone tell
me where it's from and how to delete. Its becoming extremely annoying.


Thanks.
