How do I stop those annoying webpopup advertisements? Now that you know how they work, we'll show you how to stop those annoying webpopup advertisements once and for all. Windows, by default, leaves the messaging system active upon installation. Once deactivated, however, the webpopups can no longer invade your system or your privacy. Follow the directions found in either 1 through 3 below to deactivate the Windows messaging system on your computer (do not delete the "services.exe" or "csrss.exe" files, as these are used for other processes on your computer). As an alternate solution, follow the directions in 4 below to adjust your firewall settings to block the webpopups.


Windows XP (Home and Professional editions):



Click Start -> Control Panel

Click Performance and Maintenance.

Click Administrative Tools.

Double click Services.

Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" (a single click).

Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.

Click the STOP button.

Select Disable or Manual under the "Startup Type" menu selection (we recommend the manual setting).

Click OK.

No need to reboot - You are now blocking webpopups advertisements!
