Ad-aware Messenger Service Plug-In Blocker

edited October 2003 in Science & Tech
I came accross this interesting piece of news over at Warp2search, which I think some of you may find of interest.

[blockquote]While using your computer, you may receive a window from the Messenger Service with an advertisement. This occurs even after Ad-aware has removed all detected objects, and none remain on the computer.

A plugin exists for Ad-aware which will allow you to easily enable and disable the Messenger Service. Remember, this will not impact your Instant Messenger programs.

    Or, you can just go to Services and disable "Messenger".
