How do I get in Windows98 to Services where I could disable the Messenger
not to get so many popups from Messenger? Thanks Fred J

A Win 9'x O/S doesn't have a Messenger service running on the O/S like a
NT based O/S such as Win 2K or XP has the service.

You may have pop-ups do to some AD Trojan that may be running on the
computer. Have you tried an online scanner like Trend Micro's House Call
and Ad-Aware or Spybot and scanned the machine?

You may want to implement the HOST has a prevention measure after you
clean things up.
